Watch live as the Cup Series drivers tackle the longest and arguably toughest race on the NASCAR schedule from Charlotte.
A lot can be said about NASCAR not keeping with enough of its traditions, but the Coca-Cola 600 is one race that doesn’t have the problem. Still held the Sunday night of Memorial Day weekend from Charlotte Motor Speedway, it’s both a celebration of Americana and the longest, most grueling event on the schedule, a full 100 miles longer than any other race.
Because of the nature of 1.5-mile tracks, it’s not always thrilling from beginning to end, but the length alone guarantees the race will have its share of intrigue. This year, the drivers will undoubtedly be looking to put on a show to prove it wasn’t just the rules package that made the All-Star Race, also held at Charlotte, so buzzworthy last weekend.
As far as storylines go for the 2018 Coca-Cola 600, you can start with the fact that the two most dominant drivers of the season so far are starting at opposite ends of the field. Kevin Harvick didn’t even make it onto the track for a qualifying run and will attempt to add a sixth win to his 2018 resume while starting 39th of 40 cars. Kyle Busch, meanwhile, sits on the pole and will attempt to win at a track where he, perhaps surprisingly, has never won a Cup Series race.
