David Reutimann Quotes:
Michigan International Speedway: “We had a good run at Michigan in the #00 Toyota in June. If there would have been a few more laps the #00 Toyota could have finished in the top-10 for sure.”

“In the last few races we have been hit with bad luck – those finishes do not show the hard work and progress the #00 team is making each race weekend.”

Thoughts: “I want to welcome Domino’s Pizza back as the primary sponsor of the #00 Toyota. It’s cool having them back on the car at their home track, and it would mean a lot to me to get them a great finish this Sunday in the #00 Dominos.com Toyota at the track they sponsor – Michigan International Speedway.”
