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.

Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Infineon Raceway could very well make or break the season of two underrated drivers who are teammates by virtually all definitions of the word.

Marcos Ambrose, who drives for JTG-Daugherty Racing, essentially a satellite of Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR), and David Reutimann, who won his first Cup race for MWR last month at Lowe's Motor Speedway, are two humble and subdued drivers making a lot of noise on the track this year. But the road course in Sonoma, Calif., could mean totally different things to the duo.
