The Coca-Cola 600 is arguably the most cinematic race in the NASCAR calendar. It is a Crown Jewel race and the longest race in the season. The day to night transition during the Coca-Cola 600 is a picturesque moment which spectators adore for years. The drivers drive 600 miles around the Charlotte Motor Speedway trying to claim the glory of the prestigious event. Coca-Cola 600 is also a unique race with four stages of 100 laps each. The race is held during the Memorial Day weekend adding further importance to the entire event.
Coca-Cola 600 is famous for its Double Duty event. The schedule is designed in such a way that the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 are held on the same weekend. There have been many drivers in the past who have attempted to take part in Double Duty. It is a tradition that the reigning champion of the Indianapolis 500 won’t compete in the race.
The Coca-Cola 600 is held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and sponsored by Coca-Cola. The first iteration of Coca-Cola 600 was held in 1960.
