David Reutimann Quotes:
Lowe’s Motor Speedway: “Only one word can describe Lowe’s Motor Speedway – Fast, and it always produces exciting racing for the fans.”

Thoughts: “This weekend we’re running the same car that ran so well at Texas in both practices before the rain started – of course, we never received the chance to race that weekend, but in the NEXTEL Open we are looking to show how good of a car it is.”

Expectations: “Well, we have only 40 laps to get the job done – and in this race the only spots that matter are one & two. I would love the opportunity to race in the NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge in my first year. It would be the perfect send off and thank you to Domino’s Pizza for being a great sponsor.”

“Also, the #00 Domino’s Pizza/Burger King/RACEWORLD USA Toyota will be running a cool looking paint scheme this weekend honoring my two sponsors – this is another good reason to race my way in.”
