David Reutimann To Drive the #44 UPS Toyota Camry Beginning At Martinsville ! ! !
I for one, am so excited to see "Beek" Reutimann take over the #44 UPS machine. You see, David and I are pretty much alike in that he is also a Perfectionist. Anyone that sees him on qualifying day knows this. He can't eat, he can't even function until after his turn qualifying ! ! ! The purpose of this post is to encourage him and let him know that there are a lot of fans out here cheering him on to Victory Lane. Especially now that he doesn't have to worry so much about making the races, since all of MWR cars are currently in the Top 35 in Driver Standings! ! ! That's cause for celebration right there ! ! !
I'm also including some interesting facts that I found regarding "My Boy" Rutimann that I thought you should know about. I also know that he is married and has a beautiful wife and six year old daughter. I think that they make the cutest family. Reminds me of Mikey and his family ! ! !

Kudos To Tony "Smoke" Stewart ! ! !
Last Monday night, on his Radio Show "Smoke" got waxed ! ! ! OUCH ! ! ! Apparently he said that he would rather have been kicked in the "private parts", the pain couldn't have been any worse. What a Trooper he was AND raised $125,000 for Victory Junction Gang Camp. Way To Go, Tony ! ! ! Oh by the way, he also got a haircut, Ladies ! ! !
Kevin (and Delana) Harvick's fans raised $36,000 for the cause. But my question is this: When will Kevin's head be shaved ??? I thought that was part of the bargain, am I mistaken ??? I can't wait to see that one !!!
Have a Great Week and I'll see you at the racetrack @ Martinsville !!! Who's going to win at Martinsville ??? Please let me know before it's time to start picking my Fantasy Racing League Picks !!!
