Reutimann wins Coca-Cola 600: David Reutimann stared at the gray sky
and silently prayed for one more heavy rain. A gamble had put the
journeyman driver in position for his first Sprint Cup Series victory,
and so long as the clouds lingered over Lowe's Motor Speedway, it
would come in the crown jewel Coca-Cola 600. Reutimann didn't like his
chances. "These things don't ever go our way," the 39-year-old
thought. "I don't know why it should now." For most of his nondescript
career, Reutimann never got the lucky break. It finally came Monday
after 75 races, three rain delays, a moment of silence, a spat with
Tony Stewart and a 2-hour wait. NASCAR declared Reutimann the winner
when an ominous weather forecast indicated it would be impossible to
run the longest race of the season to its conclusion. (ESPN.com)
