The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season roars on with the sport’s longest race: the Coca-Cola 600. Fans will have plenty of ways to catch all of the action.
It’s the 66th running of the famed event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which many call NASCAR’s ultimate endurance challenge.
With 40 drivers set to take the track, this marathon of a race begins with a running start and unfolds across shifting conditions. It kicks off in the late-afternoon sun and ends beneath the glow of stadium lights.
It’s a true test of stamina, strategy and focus that stands as one of the most demanding spectacles on the NASCAR calendar.
Just a stone’s throw from the Hendrick Motorsports campus in Concord, North Carolina, Charlotte has practically been the team’s backyard playground. And the stats prove it. Hendrick leads the pack in every major category at NASCAR’s longest race: 12 wins, 13 poles, 40 top-fives, 64 top-10s and 3,832 laps led.
Among the current stable of Hendrick drivers, Kyle Larson shines brightest in this particular spotlight. Back in 2021, he put on an absolute clinic at the 600, leading 327 of 400 laps and sweeping every stage like a driver possessed.
That win wasn’t just dominant — it was historic. It marked Hendrick Motorsports’ 269th Cup Series triumph, pushing them to the top of the all-time wins list in NASCAR.
