David Reutimann
The 2009 Coca-Cola 600 was a rain-soaked affair, with the race postponed until Monday because of poor weather. Rain was again a factor once the race began, with David Reutimann and his Michael Waltrip Racing team holding the lead when the rain came for the final time.
Driving a wounded race car with damage on the right side from a previous meeting with the wall, Reutimann was the leader when rain brought out a caution flag on lap 227 of the 400-lap event. He spent the next hour waiting patiently until NASCAR pulled the plug, awarding him his first of two Monster Energy NASCRA Cup Series victories.
