The NASCAR Cup Series will stage its annual Coca‑Cola 600 on the evening of May 24 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 400‑lap, 600‑mile marathon that traditionally closes the sport’s longest weekend.
Rain‑soaked qualifying on May 23 left the starting order unsettled, and Tyler Reddick emerged as the pole sitter, securing the top spot ahead of the green flag.
A new chapter for the sport
Austin Hill will make his debut in the famed No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, taking over the seat vacated by Kyle Busch and lining up 13th for the start.
