Reutimann on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“Bristol Motor Speedway is one of those tracks where anything can happen and when it does, it happens fast. It’s a tough track and you have to be on your toes for 250 laps. The racing is exciting for the fans and exhausting for the drivers. It’s a challenging track that I really enjoy racing at. I’m looking forward to being back in the Dollar General Toyota this weekend.
Trent Owens and the No. 32 team have done a great job every week unloading a stout Camry. I’ve come close to winning here a couple of times. A win at a short track like Bristol is a big deal for a driver because it is such a driver-intensive race. It would be great to get that win with the No. 32 guys.”
Equipment Information
The No. 32 Dollar General team will compete with chassis #027 in this weekend’s Food City 250 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
#027 was last seen on track at Lowe’s Motor Speedway (October, 2008) where it was unloaded as a back-up and Brian Vickers drove it to a third-place finish.
