DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Michael Waltrip Racing’s David Reutimann edged Richard Childress Racing’s Casey Mears for the fastest lap in the final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice Thursday at Daytona International Speedway.
In preparation for Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400, Reutimann turned a lap of 192.135 mph. That was faster that Mears, who went 192.061.
Mears’ teammate, Kevin Harvick, was third at 192.029, with Red Bull Racing’s Brian Vickers fourth and Earnhardt Ganassi Racing’s Juan Pablo Montoya fifth.
Sixth through 10th were Matt Kenseth (Roush Fenway Racing), Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing), Kurt Busch (Penske Racing), Jeff Gordon (Hendrick Motorsports) and Sam Hornish Jr. (Penske).

Jul 3, 2009 at 12:36 AMWill Reuti have the drafting help he will need? I guess there is Mikey, a great drafter, but will he be able to keep up? It would be fun to watch Mikey working the draft Reuti. Good luck to them.

Jul 3, 2009 at 10:49 AMI have no idea who the two GOGH cars will be. I am surpised nobody PE'd this race. I am guessing it will be Raines and Gunselman. Sadly those are the two cars that I want to see run a full race tomorrow. Larry could really use that purse money to balance out his budget.
