A Rain‑Soaked Weekend at Charlotte
Rain forced the cancellation of Saturday’s qualifying session for the Coca‑Cola 600, prompting NASCAR to apply its rulebook metric to set the starting lineup for the 400‑mile event on May 24.
Tyler Reddick will lead the field from pole position, while Austin Hill, stepping into Kyle Busch’s No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, will start 13th as the late driver’s replacement.
In a show of respect, Toyota entries will carry the word ‘Rowdy’ above the windshield this weekend, and Richard Childress Racing distributed No. 8 decals for all teams to place on their cars as a tribute to Busch.
Broadcast and Streaming Details
The race will be televised nationally on Amazon Prime Video, with additional coverage available through HBO MAX’s in‑car camera feed and live audio on NASCAR.com.
Drivers took part in media availabilities on May 23, wearing apparel that honored Busch’s legacy, underscoring the emotional weight of the weekend for the sport.
With the lineup finalized and the tributes in place, fans can expect a competitive race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where the combination of weather‑induced uncertainty and heartfelt remembrance adds a unique storyline to the season’s longest event.
