A rain‑soaked weekend reshapes the schedule at Charlotte
The Coca‑Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is the longest race on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar, a 600‑mile endurance test that draws teams and fans from across the United States.
Qualifying was canceled on Saturday due to inclement weather, leaving NASCAR with no on‑track session to determine positions.
Instead, the series turned to its metric‑based system, which ranks drivers according to the most recent points race at Watkins Glen International, to set the starting order.
Pole position goes to Tyler Reddick
Tyler Reddick, piloting the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota, will lead the field, followed by Ty Gibbs in the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing entry and Shane van Gisbergen in the No. 97 Trackhouse Chevrolet.
The grid also features a full complement of manufacturer programs, with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford each fielding factory‑supported entries, while partners such as 23XI Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing and Trackhouse Racing prepare their cars for the marathon.
Fans can tune in live on Amazon Prime Video, which will stream the event starting at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, May 24, bringing the 600‑mile spectacle to a digital audience.
