The annual Coca‑Cola 600 is set to light up Charlotte Motor Speedway as Memorial Day weekend kicks into high gear, promising a blend of high‑speed competition and poignant remembrance.
This year’s entry list features three open cars, each driven by drivers making notable transitions. Timmy Hill will take the wheel of the No. 66 Ford for Garage 66, while Katherine Legge steps into the No. 78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports, aiming to complete the Memorial Day Double. Austin Hill, son of the late Kyle Busch, will pilot the renumbered No. 33 Chevrolet, a tribute to his father’s legacy.
A Tribute in Motion
The move follows the heartbreaking loss of Kyle Busch, who passed away earlier this month. In his honor, the No. 8 car that he once commanded has been reassigned to No. 33, a number that will remain reserved for his son Brexton Busch as a lasting reminder of the family’s impact on the sport.
Corey Heim, who had led 69 laps before a late crash at Texas Motor Speedway, is expected to bring strong momentum to the event, while the broader field prepares for a weekend that blends competition with remembrance.
Fans can watch the race live on Amazon Prime Video, which will begin coverage at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on May 24, promising an immersive viewing experience that captures every daring maneuver and emotional moment.
