Toyota Racing: Reutimann Wins Coca-Cola 600 for First Cup Win

Toyota driver David Reutimann won his first career NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series™ (NSCS) on the same day the Toyota Camry Hybrid Pace-Car made its debut, highlighting a rain-soaked weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway that saw both the NSCS and NASCAR® Nationwide Series™ (NNS) races shortened due to weather. In Monday's postponed NSCS race, Reutimann benefited from a pit road gamble as crew chief Rodney Childers kept the Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) No. 00 Aaron's Dream Machine on the track while others pitted, before persistent rain forced NASCAR® to call the race after 227 of 400 laps were complete. "It certainly wasn't the prettiest win, but somebody has to win these things," said Reutimann, following the race. "Rodney (Childers, crew chief) made a great call and told me to stay out. We just stayed out and took a gamble. When you envision yourself winning your first Sprint Cup race, you envision it a little bit different. It’s so hard to win these deals that we’ll just take them any way we can get them." It is MWR's first victory as an organization since joining NSCS competition at the beginning of 2007, and Reutimann's third career NASCAR® victory across all three national series. He won a NASCAR® Nationwide Series™ (NNS) race at Memphis in 2007 and had a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™ (NCWTS) win at Nashville in 2005.

Toyota Racing Weekend Recap

WORSHAM CLOSES IN ON FUNNY CAR POINTS LEAD WITH SECOND CONSECUTIVE VICTORY In Sunday's NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals at the Bristol Dragway, Del Worsham wheeled his Alan Johnson Al-Anabi Toyota to its second straight Funny Car victory. The run was the quickest of the entire weekend and gives Worsham a tight hold on second place in the Full Throttle Drag Racing Series standings. It has taken just eight races for Worsham to collect two wins and establish the Aaron Brooks-led Al-Anabi team as one of the favorites for the NHRA championship. "It's just a great car, the best one I've ever had," said Worsham, who once fielded his own team with father Chuck Worsham from 1990 to 2008. "There was a time when I was happy to just to qualify because it was enough money to get me to the next race. I was always involved with tuning our car, and I used to think we made a lot of horsepower. This is a lot of horsepower."

Toyota Racing: A Weekend of Winning

NASCAR©: KYLE CAPTURES TWO FIRST-PLACE TROPHIES It was Kyle Busch’s birthday Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway and the 24-year-old driver gave himself a pair of presents -- taking home two trophies from the Virginia short track. The Las Vegas-native finished first in Saturday night’s NASCAR© Sprint Cup Series™ (NSCS) race at the .75-mile oval, after recording a victory in Friday evening’s NASCAR© Nationwide Series™ race. Busch started 14th on Saturday night and led the field three times for 53 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) No. 18 Combos Toyota Camry. He took the lead on lap 352 (of 400) and held off Tony Stewart (second) and Jeff Burton (third) en route to his third NSCS victory of the season, and Toyota’s 13th NSCS victory. Busch became only the second Cup driver in history to win a race on his birthday. Former NASCAR© driver Cale Yarborough accomplished that feat twice -- winning a Cup race on his birthday in both 1977 and 1983. To get the full Toyota NASCAR© weekend recap, visit Toyota Racing. NHRA: DOUBLE SUCCESS IN ST. LOUIS FOR WORSHAM AND BROWN Worsham took the Funny Car final on a holeshot over the class points leader, Ron Capps. Worsham out reacted Capps for a 4.13-second to 4.12 decision. Brown outran Brandon Bernstein in a great Top Fuel final, resetting the overall low elapsed time that he had just established in the semifinals (3.854) with an even better 3.850 e.t. Bernstein's 3.88 kept him in it until the last few hundred feet, where Brown pulled away with the fifth-fastest speed in 1,000-foot drag racing history – 318.02 mph.
