REUTIMANN ON DRIVER 'PAYBACKS'

David Reutimann, who drives Michael Waltrip Racing's Aaron's Toyota in Sprint Cup, was the Newsmaker guest on Wednesday night's The Race Reporters show on PowerUpChannel.com. Dustin Long and Ron Lemasters Jr. joined me for the journalists' roundtable.

David was an EXCELLENT guest. Pay special note to his comments about driver "paybacks" in the second half of our intereview.
