Substitute Reutimann Wins Memphis Pole
David Reutimann might have won the pole position for the Sam's Town 250 at Memphis Motorsports Park but he will not even be in the race when the cars take the checkered flag on Saturday. Reutimann is substituting for Greg Biffle, who was qualifying his Winston Cup car in Martinsville, and will hand over the wheel to Biffle for the race. Reutimann turned in a qualifying lap in 22.544 seconds, at an average speed of 119.766 mph, to win his first career pole. Biffle will start from the rear of the field due to the driver change. Reutimann’s NEMCO teammate Kyle Busch will start from the outside of the front row, while Brain Vickers and Bobby Hamilton Jr. make out the second row.
