After racing last Sunday and Wednesday at Darlington in South Carolina, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to North Carolina this Sunday with one of its signature events of its annual schedule: The Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which will run on the American Memorial Day weekend for the 60th consecutive year.
The Coca-Cola 600 is arguably the second-biggest event on the schedule behind the season-opening Daytona 500 and also the longest race on the slate. It’s a bit unusual with the 6 p.m. ET start time because the race starts in sunshine and ends at night – last year’s took nearly five hours. Track conditions change throughout with the drop in temperatures, etc.
While there will be no fans in attendance again and no practice sessions, there will be qualifying for this race unlike the two in Darlington.
