Reutimann Doubles Up As Season Winds Down

09-07-2006 | TruckSeries.com Report

David Reutimann, driver of the No. 17 Team Tundra Toyota will be doing double duty through most of the remainder of the 2006 season.

Reutimann, currently ranked third in series point standings, will attempt to win his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title.

He'll also be at the wheel of Michael Waltrip's No. 99 Aaron's Dream Machine Chevrolet at tracks on which the trucks and NASCAR Busch Series compete on the same weekend.

Reutimann's goal is two-fold. He wants to win the NASCAR Craftsman Truck title for owner Darrell Waltrip and at the same time put the car into the top 10 in NASCAR Busch Series points.

The latter team ranked 17th going into last weekend's event at California Speedway, 123 points out of 10th.

"We've got to work really hard at it," said Reutimann. "It would be incredible to end our year that way."
