Only this time, instead of working part-time as a "jumper" whose job it was to hop out off the passenger's seat and deliver packages as the second fiddle to the driver on a two-man UPS delivery team, Reutimann will be asked to deliver Sprint Cup victories as driver of the No. 44 Toyota racecar.

I like Reutimann, he's been the best MWR driver all year, and by a LONG way, he's just always getting into other people incidents, he deserves to do well..

Does it say if he is just sharing with Jarrett, or will he be in the 00 if Jarrett is running?

Try this - strange it worked earlier!

All it says is Jarrett is running first five races then handing over to Reutimann. Strange deal if he's gotta sit out the first five races but I guess they don't see him in the running for the Chase anyway..

I think he may start the season in the #00, while Jarrett tries to get the #44 into the points. Then switch?

He's supposed to run the first 5 races in the #00 and then move to the #44 when Jarrett retires. This way they can take advantage of Jarrett's championship provisionals in the 5 races counting from this years points. Someone else is going to take over the #00 when he moves over. They don't have full sponsorship yet, but are committed to finding it. Josh Wise or Michael McDowell could be the driver along with any of the other guys (Jeff Green, Stremme, etc.) that don't have a ride lined up.

And if reutimen does reallly well in the first 5 races, they may find the #00 in the top 35 which would be a huge boost to have both #44 and #00 in the top 35.

Not going to be easy, but it's possible.
