Reutimann and the No. 00 Aaron's Dream Machine Preview Bristol

BRISTOL IS FULL OF CHALLENGES: “Bristol is a tough track,” said Reutimann. “There are really high banks and very fast for its size. Things happen fast at Bristol, so you have to stay on your toes at all times. The race track is really tight and so is pit road. There is just a lot going on during the race keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout the race.” STARTING POSITION AT BRISTOL: “Your starting position is really important at Bristol,” said Reutimann. “If you start towards the back, you are already a half lap down because of the size of the track. Even worse, when a caution comes out if you were to be at the end of the pack there is a single file restart and you are even more than half of a lap down. It makes it difficult to stay on the lead lap. Passing is not easy at this racetrack either. The track is just tough on cars, tough on your body, and just overall tough.” AARON’S DREAM MACHINE AT SHORT TRACKS: “We usually run well at Bristol,” said Reutimann. “Last year we had two top-10 finishes at Bristol in the Nationwide Series. We qualified second last August in the Cup Series; we just need to have a better setup to get improve our finishes. I really enjoy racing at a short track like Bristol. Like every other race track, Bristol has its challenges too. With Rodney and the team performing well I really enjoy racing at each and every track.” EXPECTING THE UNPREDICTABLE: “It’s hard to expect a lot at each track,” said Reutimann. “When you unload the car off the trailer you expect to have a car that is going to perform well. It’s always unpredictable, especially at Bristol. It is extremely hard to be able to tell what will happen. You just have to be on your toes from the very beginning, starting with the first practice all the way trough to the last lap of the race.” AARON’S DREAM SEATS: “Aaron’s has a great promotion each year where they select a fan and a guest to win a trip to Bristol to watch the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races from plush Aaron’s Dream Seats,” Reutimann said. “That’s pretty neat because sometimes tickets are hard to come by at a place like Bristol. It’s really cool to look up in the stands and see the fans lounging back on their recliners watching the race. Aaron’s does an incredible job of activating their sponsorship through promotions like these and their at-track displays, hospitality, track signage, advertisement and sponsoring the Lucky Dog lap.” CHASSIS INFORMATION: The primary chassis for the No.00 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry at the Bristol Motor Speedway is #617. Reutimann raced this car in the Bud Shootout at Daytona this year and then was converted to be the Bristol car. SCANNER INFORMATION: CH 1 - 457.5375, CH 2 - 461.9375 RACE INFORMATION:
