Emil David Reutimann is an American professional stock car racing crew chief and former driver.
A native of Zephyrhills, Florida, he has competed in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and Camping World Truck Series. In 2004, he won NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors in the Craftsman Truck Series.

Who won the 600 mile:
After offseason testing at Charlotte saw drivers right on the edge of control in the Next Gen car, there was an expectation that this year’s Coca-Cola 600 may feature a higher level of both on-track action and attrition as a consequence.
Those expectations ended up being realized in a race as difficult on drivers and equipment as it was exciting for the sellout crowd that came to witness it.
Denny Hamlin can finally add “Coca-Cola 600 winner” to his resume. The No. 11 Toyota driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, despite being on the outside looking in for much of the last 10 laps on Sunday, found a way to avoid the race’s crazy carnage down the stretch to win the crown-jewel event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
