David Reutimann Quotes:
Texas: “Texas Motor Speedway is another fast track. It is easier to pass at Texas than most and it is a track that I have had my eye on now for a few weeks.”

Expectations: “The #00 Domino’s Pizza team has a great opportunity to perform very well at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. The people at Michael Waltrip Racing and Toyota keep working hard, and we’re hoping this weekend will be a continuation of last weekend’s good run in the Busch Series.”

Thoughts: I really enjoy racing on this track and have had some good finishes here in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. So, I definitely think the #00 Domino’s Pizza Toyota can have a good run at Texas this weekend, and continue to gain positions in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup points.” Quick Facts:
