NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 2014: live stream, starting grid, TV schedule and more
By Mike Dyce
On a big day of racing, the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 closes out the holiday weekend with a late race on Saturday. It is the longest race on the Spring Cup schedule at 600 miles on the 1.5 track, that is 400 laps, and driver Jimmie Johnson says that endurance is a big factor.
“Drivers’ fitness and hydration is kind of a player in there … and you might see a little bit of fatigue at the end,” Johnson said, via NASCAR.com. “I feel like I’ve got that base covered if it does come down to that.
“You’ve got a lot of opportunities to work on your car and that’s what I’ll tell myself all night long. If things don’t go our way, if we’re caught in the pits when a caution comes out, or something doesn’t work in our favor, you’ve got 100 more miles to sort things out. A 500-mile race is already long. And now you’ve got 100 more to work on it. You’ve just got to keep your head in the game and focus on being in the game longer.”
Johnson is starting up front from the pole position and might not be the most concerned about fitness, at 38-years old he won his age group in a triathlon hours before competing in the annual Sprint All-Star race. Who says race car driver’s aren’t athletes.
