David Reutimann (No. 99 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota) heads into the open week second in the standings, 654 points behind leader Carl Edwards. Reutimann is having one of the best seasons of his racing career, and he hasn’t been doing it the flashy way, but with the tried-and- true method of being consistent. For a new team coming into this year with no guarantees of making the events, consistency is what has taken the No. 99 team towards the top.
Toytota came into the NASCAR Busch Series this season fielding four cars – one from Michael Waltrip Racing and three from Braun Racing.
Reutimann is running his first full-time season in the NASCAR Busch Series, and the No. 99 team is running with Toyota as a manufacturer in its first year in NASCAR Busch Series competition. Reutimann and his team answered the skepticism with four top fives, and 11 top 10s in the first 29 races this season. Reutimann has a season-to-date Driver Rating of 81.0 – third in the series – and an Average Running Position of 16.790 – third in the series.
As the series returns next week, they head to Lowe’s Motor Speedway where Reutimann is looking to improve on his previous finish of 43rd due to an engine failure there earlier this season. He recorded a sixth-place finish there last year in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
