All the information you need to get ready for NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600, Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The busiest day in motor sports ― which begins with Formula One's famous Monaco Grand Prix followed by IndyCar's legendary Indianapolis 500 ― concludes with NASCAR's longest and most grueling race: the Coca-Cola 600.

NASCAR Cup Series drivers will hit the gas for 600 miles at Charlotte Motor Speedway ― though last year's race, which went to multiple overtimes, took 619 miles to complete.

The Coca-Cola 600 has produced five different winners in the last five years — Kyle Busch (2018), Martin Truex Jr. (2019), Brad Keselowski (2020), Kyle Larson (2021) and Denny Hamlin (2022) — but Truex has won three times overall, tied with Kevin Harvick for most among active drivers.
