What better way to cap off another Memorial Day weekend trifecta than with the Coca-Cola 600?
The 400-lap behemoth is a marathon and a sprint. On one hand, drivers must showcase endurance and strategy — after all, the Charlotte race is the longest of the season.
On the other, track position is key. The longer you’re in dirty air, the more difficult it is to burst your way to the top of the grid. Urgency, while risky, remains essential to conquering the abominable adversary.
There are many ways to win at Charlotte. There are more ways to lose. Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Larson have all claimed gold atop the storied asphalt. Who came out on top this time around?
Here’s what you need to know.
