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: “Last weekend a down tire in the NEXTEL Open ruined any shot at getting in the All-Star Challenge – of course, we only had 40 laps. The good news this weekend is that we have plenty of laps in the Coca-Cola 600 (the longest race of the season) to make our way to the front.”

Expectations: “I’m excited about this weekend. The #00 Toyota was extremely good in the practice sessions a few weeks ago at Lowe’s – we spent a majority of it in the top-10 speeds.”
