Sprint: Reutimann On The Pole

Oh how things have changed

David Reutimann has taken Michael Waltrip Racing from a mangled mess at Texas to the front of the field.

Reutimann earned the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the 1 1/2 -mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway with a lap of 190.517 mph on Friday.

“I guess that puts an exclamation mark on just how things have changed,” said Reutimann, driving the No. 00 Toyota owned by Waltrip.

A year ago, the No. 00 was driven in Texas qualifying by Cup rookie Michael McDowell, who escaped unscathed from a horrific, tumbling crash when he slammed into the wall and rolled at least eight times before coming to a rest at the bottom of the track.

Things Are Looking Up At MWR

One thing for sure, it’s good to see all three drivers at Michael Waltrip Racing making the races. They had a rocky start, but it looks like things are finally coming together.

For the second consecutive event, all three Michael Waltrip Racing teams qualified for a Nextel Cup Series event Friday at Kansas Speedway.

And in that upbeat atmosphere, both MWR general manager Ty Norris and rookie driver David Reutimann expressed optimism that Reutimann’s multi-year contract extension, which was given to the driver on his way to Dover last weekend, would be acceptable.

“We feel real good about where it is, we just have a few details to work out,” Norris said. “There was one detail that was clarified this week as it relates to the Busch car — everything else seems to be easily worked out. David and I talked Wednesday and I feel like we’re in a great place with him.”

Norris said Reutimann also wanted to run for a championship next season in what is now the Busch Series, where he currently sits second in the standings.
