Wheel2Wheel: Reutimann's Actions Understandable, But Not Fair
Filed under: David Reutimann, Kyle Busch, Chase for the Sprint Cup, NASCAR Crashes, Sprint Cup
Do I understand why David Reutimann felt it necessary to repay Kyle Busch at Kansas? Certainly. Reutimann, still battling for respect in NASCAR despite two wins with a team still fighting to be a Chase contender, can't afford take finishes in the doldrums of the running order just because another driver lacked a bit of patience. I understand his explanation that his No. 00 team didn't have the option of when Kyle Busch was going to wreck. I get that Reutimann -- at Kansas, a track nearly identical to the site of his last win in Chicago -- had a car under him and was looking for a prosperous day. That's all fine. That's all dandy. Until the tables are turned.
