Reutimann Previews Martinsville Speedway

REUTIMANN IS READY FOR MARTINSVILLE :

“I haven’t had all that many races at Martinsville Speedway in the Sprint Cup series,” said Reutimann. “The times we have raced at this racetrack we haven’t had much luck. Last season we ended up having a rear end problem putting us out of the race early. It was really unfortunate because we had a great car and even led a few laps. This year we hope to turn things around and finish in the top-five with the Aaron’s Dream Machine Camry.”

MARTINSVILLE HAS PLENTY OF HISTORY:

“There’s a lot of history at Martinsville,” said Reutimann. “This race track has been part of the NASCAR schedule since the first season; it is the only original NASCAR-sanctioned track still running Cup Series events. It’s a fun track to race on; this race track is a lot like what I started on when I was doing local races back home in Zephyrhills, FL. We are really looking forward to race the Aaron’s Dream Machine at the short track.”

THE AARON’S DREAM MACHINE OFF TO A GREAT START:

“I feel really good about the season so far,” said Reutimann. “Rodney (Childers) and the guys have been working really hard each week to get the car the way we want it to be. I think we are definitely where we expected to be at this point in the season. We have had some good runs and qualifying positions at most of the tracks. I would like to have more top-five finishes at this point, but we just can’t get to ahead of ourselves. It is important for us not to lose focus and to just concentrate on one race at a time.”

CHALLENGES AT MARTINSVILLE:

“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 and Martinsville is no different. It is extremely hard to be able to tell what will happen. Being at a short track, there are a lot of cars in such a small amount of space. You just have to always pay attention and communicate well with your spotter.”

AARON’S PRESENCE IN MARTINSVILLE:

“Aaron’s always has such a strong presence at each track,” said Reutimann. “I always want to perform my best for the Aaron’s associates. It is really important for me to be able to meet the associates that I am representing. I always take time to get pictures with each one by the Aaron’s Dream Machine and talk with them. This is a great opportunity for the local Aaron’s associates that don’t usually get to go to a race to come out to a race and see the Aaron’s Dream Machine up close and personal.”
