David Reutimann Quotes:
Darlington: “Darlington is called the “Track too Tough to Tame” for a reason – because it’s tough to race on and it eats your tires up after only a few laps.
So, the goal at Darlington is to take care of your equipment, stay out of trouble and avoid the Darlington stripe.”
Thoughts: “The last few COT races we have qualified well but have been unable to get the #00 Domino’s Pizza Toyota to perform in the race. Frank (Kerr) and the guys keep working hard, and I believe this weekend could be a good opportunity for us to come away with a good finish.”
