David Reutimann WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race in Chevy Rock & Roll 400
Sunday September 7, 2008
WIX FILTERS LAP LEADER NOTES FOR THE CHEVY ROCK & ROLL 400 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES RACE AT RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2008, PAGE 1.
· David Reutimann led twice for 104 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in today’s Chevy Rock & Roll 400. Reutimann claimed the award for the first time this season. He has led 110 laps in three races this season.
· Reutimann scored a ninth-place finish, his third top-10 finish of the 2008 season.
· DID YOU KNOW? The driver leading the most laps in the fall race at Richmond has finished now worse than 10th-place in the last 11 races.
· A different driver has now led the most laps in each of the past five September races at Richmond. The others:
2007: Jeff Gordon, 191 laps
2006: Kyle Busch, 248 laps
2005: Kurt Busch, 185 laps
2004: Jeremy Mayfield, 151 laps
· REUTIMANN QUOTES: “That’s great to win the WIX award. Track position is so crucial here and got out there and got a little bit of clean air and the car was good. Guys did a good job and Ryan Pemberton [crew chief] made a couple good calls. The first call was two tires and got us a lap down. I thought we were in big trouble there but thank the Lord that we were able to fight back and turn it around so I’m pretty pleased with the day.” ARE YOU A LITTLE FRUSTRATED TO NOT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO WIN AT THE END? “Yeah, definitely bums me out a little bit that we didn’t do a little better at the end there. It ended up being too tight towards the end. Any time you can come out of here with a top-10 and be upset about it I guess is not a bad day.” HOW FUN WAS IT TO LEAD? “It was awesome [smiles]. I need to do it more often.”
