David Reutimann, a third generation racer, Emil "Buzzie" Reutimann, who was inducted into the DIRT Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1997. Buzzie still gets behind the wheel, primarily on Florida race tracks, and often the "Racing Reutimanns" can be found at East Bay Raceway Park or at the "Clay by the Bay" as it is affectionately known.
He started as a dirt track racer and moved his way up into the ranks of NASCAR racers, being the 1997 Rookie of the Year in the Slim Jim All Pro Series as well as 2004's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Rookie of the Year. With many top ten finishes, although few wins, Reutimann is a racer to watch.
He was the winner of the 2005 Nashville Toyota Tundra 200, which he followed up with a 2007 win in the Sam's Town 250 in Memphis, his first Busch Series car win. He ran the entire series on 2007, coming in second in the standings.
Since joining the NASCAR Southeast Series in 1997, Reutimann has been the winner of several awards. He spent a long time preparing on Florida's many short tracks, where he was an avid modified racer.
For the last few years, he has been racing in the Nationwide Series as well as the Sprint Cup series for Michael Waltrip Racing. He hasn't achieved the level of success of some NASCAR stars, but he has been a consistently high performing racer with top finishes in a lot of the sport's most important races.
David Reutimann chose an old acquaintance from the racing world as his crew chief in 2009. Rodney Childers is now taking care of the number 00 Toyota; the two have known each other since 1999's Slim Jim All Pro race. Childers says that he was eager to take on the position, appreciating as he does Reutimann's personality and lively sense of humor.
Reutimann has been on the scene for some time, but in the last year has really started to come into his own. He and his team are hoping to build on his momentum and score some top 10's, top 5's and even some wins this year.
Childers new role as Reutimann's crew chief may prove to be the winning edge the racer needs. He has four years of experience in Sprint Cup level crew chiefing and Michael Waltrip Racing has established a solid relationship with Toyota, having the necessary commitment to really make waves in NASCAR.
David Reutimann may not be the first racer who comes to mind when thinking of NASCAR, but this year may change things. Reutimann will be sharing driving duties on Number 00, Aaron's Dream Machine. Fans are eager to see the return of Waltrip to racing as well as interested in how well Reutimann will perform.
David Reutimann has shown tremendous progress in the Sprint Cup Series and 30 top 10 finishes in the Nationwide Series, and Aarons is excited to be a part of the upcoming racing series with him, according to their spokesperson.
