\"\"<\/a>MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Tuesday, January 3, 2012)<\/strong> \u2013 Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) added NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) driver David Reutimann to the team\u2019s 2012 driver lineup alongside Dave Blaney. Still seeking sponsorship for both Reutimann and Blaney, details regarding car number, sponsors and team members will follow in the upcoming weeks.<\/p>\n

Reutimann, a Zephyrhills, Fla., native, made his first NSCS start in 2005. He competed in four full NSCS seasons with Michael Waltrip Racing and compiled two wins, 12 top-fives, 26 top-10s and four poles. The 41-year-old racer also competed in the NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series where he captured two wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cTommy has built a really good organization from the ground up in a really short amount of time,\u201d said Reutimann. \u201cOne of the things I like about Tommy and what\u2019s refreshing about him is that he is just a racer. There are lots of things he could be doing but instead he is at the shop every day working hard to build the organization from the ground up. There are not a lot of true racers in the garage, and he is one of them. It\u2019s the way I was raised with my Dad, so we are on the same page. I\u2019m just really looking forward to the season and see what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

TBR competed in every event in the 36-race NSCS schedule in 2011 and raced into the top-35 in NSCS Owner Points, meeting the team\u2019s 2011 season goals. Blaney drove to the team\u2019s best finish of third in the October event at Talladega Superspeedway. The team also fielded a second car for five events in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cReutimann will be a great addition to our program and to Dave Blaney,\u201d commented team owner Tommy Baldwin. \u201cLast season, we met our goals of running the entire schedule and making the top-35 in points. This season, our goal is to continue our progress on the competition side. Having two veteran drivers in Reutimann and Blaney is a very important step in our program\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still working on finding funding for next year, but having a car guaranteed in the first five races, including the Daytona 500, is a big step for our team,\u201d Baldwin continued. \u201cWe had success last year with our partners. Although Golden Corral will not return in 2012, they were very happy with the exposure they received. We hope they have shown other companies the value of our program and that our program will once again align with their business objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Tommy Baldwin Racing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Crew Chief Tommy Baldwin formed Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) in 2009. Baldwin utilized a declining economy to open a NSCS team with a stringent budget. The team worked to build to full-time competition, and by the 2011 season, the team\u2019s third season, TBR competed in every race and locked the No. 36 Chevrolet in the top-35 in NSCS Owner Points. Dave Blaney drove the No. 36 Chevrolet to TBR\u2019s highest finish of third in the October 2011 event at Talladega Superspeedway. TBR also fielded a second car for select races in the past two seasons with multiple drivers.<\/p>\n

Based in Mooresville, N.C., TBR will compete in the NSCS in 2012 with NASCAR veterans David Reutimann and Dave Blaney.<\/p>\n
