Phoenix: David Reutimann preview

David Reutimann Quotes:

Phoenix: "Phoenix International Raceway is a cool race track, and I enjoy racing on it. I haven't raced here in a NEXTEL Cup or Busch car but I did have a few good runs in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series."

Expectations: "Well, it's a COT race, which brings a few unknowns still for many of the teams, but I'm confident that the #00 Domino's Pizza Toyota will be good."

Thoughts: "Last weekend was tough, considering how awesome the #00 Domino's Pizza Toyota drove right off the truck. Still, we have to look at this as a huge step in the right direction -- a step we hope to build on this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway."
