Well, after one heck of a hard talking to with the fence at California, 2007 did begin to improve for David Reutimann. Although that improvement came slowly at first.
Beak made 26 of the 36 races on speed, and was the top performer at Michael Waltrip Racing in 2007. Initially his 2008 status was in limbo, with sponsorship being negotiated, until a moment of clarity arised and Michael Waltrip presented him with a new contract. What took place was Dale Jarrett stepping aside after race 5 this upcoming season, and UPS finding a new friend in David Reutimann.
It’s going to be a marketing winner as the brand builds, and you heard it here first. As a side note, David pitched back the intial contract from MWR as he was highly dedicated to again running the entire Busch Nationwide Series in 2008. Mikey made it happen, and Beak will be contending for the 2008 title on Saturday’s at a track near you.
