Reutimann scored a ninth-place finish, his third top-10 finish of the 2008 season.

DID YOU KNOW? The driver leading the most laps in the fall race at Richmond has finished now worse than 10th-place in the last 11 races.

A different driver has now led the most laps in each of the past five September races at Richmond. The others:

2007: Jeff Gordon, 191 laps

2006: Kyle Busch, 248 laps

2005: Kurt Busch, 185 laps

2004: Jeremy Mayfield, 151 laps

REUTIMANN QUOTES: “That’s great to win the WIX award. Track position is so crucial here and got out there and got a little bit of clean air and the car was good. Guys did a good job and Ryan Pemberton [crew chief] made a couple good calls. The first call was two tires and got us a lap down. I thought we were in big trouble there but thank the Lord that we were able to fight back and turn it around so I’m pretty pleased with the day.” ARE YOU A LITTLE FRUSTRATED TO NOT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO WIN AT THE END? “Yeah, definitely bums me out a little bit that we didn’t do a little better at the end there. It ended up being too tight towards the end. Any time you can come out of here with a top-10 and be upset about it I guess is not a bad day.” HOW FUN WAS IT TO LEAD? “It was awesome [smiles]. I need to do it more often.”

Kyle Busch leads Jimmie Johnson by three races (9-6) in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings entering the September 6 Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond.
