What, you say it’s only Sunday night and Daytona testing doesn’t commence until Monday morning? Just how fast and what was the Michael Waltrip Racing Camry driver timed at you’re asking?

There’s much more important things than Daytona testing, testing that is nothing more than a few days of photo ops in an attempt to sate the insatiable and provide drivers quotes to the ink stained wretches, many of which have lain dormant since Homestead.

Important things, like Reutimann setting fast time (clocking in at one minute, 29 seconds) as he kneeded a ball of dough, formed it into a round crust, slathered on the sauce, added 48 slices of pepperoni (plus cheese) before putting it in the oven.

All at the behest of new sponsor, Domino’s.

“I struggled with the flaps of the dough on my first attempt,” the 36-year-old Reutimann said. “It’s got to be the right shape, and mine came out more like an egg. I blame that on faulty equipment.

“I was much better on the second attempt, but probably not good enough to make a career out of it.”

(WARNING, snark ahead) Hope Reutimann keeps the “faulty equipment” excuse handy considering his bosses recent history)

It probably is for the best David won’t have a career flippin’ pizza dough but maybe in his spare time he might consider giving Tim Whitener a hand spinnin’ up a few of Dale Jr’s favored pepperoni & ham pizzas.

Just a suggestion… only trying to help, honest!
