Michael Waltrip Racing confirmed the rumor floating around this week when they announced Thursday that driver David Reutimann will not return to the team for the 2012 season.
Team officials said they notified Reutimann this week.
“David has been a significant part of Michael Waltrip Racing since the very beginning and will forever be a part of our heritage,” said Co-Owner Michael Waltrip. “We want to thank David for his contribution to our growth and success over the past five years and wish him well in the future.”
In statement the team said Reutimann will remain with the team for the final three races of the 2011 season.
