The NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday evening to close out the most exciting day in motor sports.
Following Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix and IndyCar’s Indianapolis 500, the Coca-Cola 600 takes center stage for NASCAR’s annual Memorial Day weekend event and the series’ longest race of the year at 600 miles.
All eyes will be on Kyle Larson, who is attempting the motor sports double for the second consecutive year. Larson will begin his day at Indianapolis, where he starts 19th in the Indy 500 in the No. 17 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Following his afternoon at Indy, he will immediately fly to North Carolina and hop into his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet for the Coca-Cola 600, as he seeks to become the first driver since Tony Stewart in 2001 to race 1,100 total miles and complete the Indy-Charlotte double.
Larson won the Coca-Cola 600 in 2021 en route to his first Cup Series championship. Can he do it again this year? Here’s all the information you need to get ready for the race:
