HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (November 18, 2013) – David Reutimann and the No. 83 VooDoo BBQ & Grill Toyota Camry finished 31st at Homestead-Miami Speedway.  With a new sponsor and design on their Toyota Camry, the BK Racing team battled a tight racecar throughout the day to cross the finish line in the 31st position.

Reutimann rolled off 32nd for the 400-mile season finale in south Florida.  After battling a loose racecar throughout practice, the team made a few chassis adjustments to tighten the car.  Unfortunately the changes proved to be too much as Reutimann battled a tight racecar throughout the opening portion of the race on Sunday afternoon.  With eight cautions throughout the 267-lap event, Reutimann visited pit road as often as possible to work on the balance the handling of his VooDoo BBQ & Grill Toyota.

As the sun set and track temperatures cooled, the handling of the No. 83 VooDoo BBQ & Grill Toyota Camry began to dial in.  By the time the checkered flag waved, Reutimann was scored in the 31st position.

“I can’t thank my BK Racing team enough for all their hard work this year,” commented Reutimann.  “It was great to have a new sponsor on the car this weekend with VooDoo BBQ & Grill; we had a cool new look to our race car and enjoyed our time with their guests at the track this weekend.  We had some ups and downs throughout our season, but I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel in 2014.  I really appreciate having the opportunity to race the No. 83 car for the BK Racing team this season.  Likewise, I appreciate the support of all of our great partners–Burger King, Dr Pepper, Lipman, Toyota, Sherwin-Williams, Lincoln Welders, Horizon and VooDoo BBQ & Grill–it has been a blast driving the car this year.”
