The NASCAR Coca‑Cola 600 is set for May 24 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, marking the start of a summer schedule that will be remembered for both its racing action and its emotional resonance.
A night of remembrance
Following Kyle Busch’s death from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, the series will retire his No. 8 car as a tribute, keeping the number idle until his son Brexton is ready to compete.
The race will be broadcast exclusively on Prime Video, beginning at 6 p.m. Eastern, allowing fans to experience the unique transition from daylight to the track’s signature lights.
Among the drivers confirmed for the lineup is veteran Austin Hill, while Katherine Legge plans to attempt ‘The Double’ by competing in both the Indy 500 and the Coca‑Cola 600 on the same day.
Prime Video’s 2026 schedule will feature five NASCAR Cup Series races, with this event serving as the first of the exclusive lineup, underscoring the platform’s expanding role in motorsport coverage.
