David Reutimann Quotes:
Talladega: “Well, it’s Talladega Superspeedway – restrictor plate, side-by-side racing, where everyone waits for the big one. Since they repaved Talladega it’s as smooth as glass and extremely fast – making it an awesome place to race.”

Expectations: “I’m hoping to come out of Talladega with a solid finish. It would mean a lot to me with Aaron’s being the race sponsor and Domino’s running a really cool special paint scheme on the #00 Domino’s Pizza Toyota. What’s so cool is that the NASCAR fans voted for it over the past month in the Domino’s Pizza Great Debate.”

Thoughts: “Making it through the big one safely will be one of our goals, and I’m confident that Frank (Kerr) and the rest of the #00 Domino’s Pizza team will provide me with a fast car.”
