NASCAR Cup Series drivers will have to wait an extra day for the series’ longest and most grueling race, after the Coca-Cola 600 was postponed until Monday due to persistent rain in Concord, North Carolina .
When the green flag finally flies, drivers will hit the gas for 600 miles at Charlotte Motor Speedway – although last year’s race, which was run in several overtime hours, was 619 miles.
The Coca-Cola 600 has produced five different winners over the past five years – Kyle Busch (2018), Martin Truex Jr. (2019), Brad Keselowski (2020), Kyle Larson (2021) and Denny Hamlin (2022) – but Truex has won three times in total, tied with Kevin Harvick for most active drivers.
