Boris Vs. The Field

T.C. — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:51:17 +0000

Often times when drivers get one off rides there becomes this serious sense of urgency. They have to do whatever it takes to get a good result now, because they may not get another chance. I believe what we saw today out of Boris Said could somewhat be explained this way. He came in as [...]

Wheel2Wheel: Reutimann’s Actions Understandable, But Not Fair

Do I understand why David Reutimann felt it necessary to repay Kyle Busch at Kansas?

Certainly.

Reutimann, still battling for respect in NASCAR despite two wins with a team still fighting to be a Chase contender, can't afford take finishes in the doldrums of the running order just because another driver lacked a bit of patience.

I understand his explanation that his No. 00 team didn't have the option of when Kyle Busch was going to wreck. I get that Reutimann -- at Kansas, a track nearly identical to the site of his last win in Chicago -- had a car under him and was looking for a prosperous day.

That's all fine. That's all dandy.

Until the tables are turned.

David Reutimann And The Art Of Overreaction

T.C. — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 02:06:20 +0000

To anyone not sitting in the #00 pit, what initially transpired between Kyle Busch and David Reutimann was nothing more then a racin’ deal. Reutimann slipped up in the center of the corner, and Busch couldn’t check up fast enough. It was an accident, pure and simple. What followed was a classic overreaction. (In case [...]

JOLIET, Ill. -- Battling a car during a final run that handled the worst it had the entire race, David Reutimann finally earned the right to do a burnout after a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.

"It was probably the lamest burnout I've ever seen at a race track," Reutimann said, grinning in victory lane. "We earned this one, nobody gave it to us and that feels really good."

Reutimann won Saturday night's LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway for his second career win in his 118th start. Carl Edwards was second, Jeff Gordon third, Clint Bowyer fourth and Jamie McMurray fifth.

Kyle Busch Wins Pole at Richmond

FanHouse Newswire — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:47:00 +0000

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Kyle Busch won the pole for Saturday night's NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway with a fast lap at 127.077 mph.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver turned the lap as the 19th of 47 cars attempting to qualify, easily beating David Reutimann(126.618) for the top spot.

The pole, just the sixth Busch has earned in 196 starts in NASCAR's premier series, gave him his choice of pit stalls as he defends his victory in this race a year ago.

"It's nice to sit on the pole every once in a while," Busch said of his first pole position since March 2009 in Las Vegas. "I only get the opportunity maybe once a year."

Busch, who swept both races here a year ago, also won the pole for Friday night's Nationwide Series race on the 0.75-mile oval, giving him a good start to the weekend.
