Coca-Cola 600 Track: Charlotte Motor Speedway

The Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway stands as NASCAR’s longest and most grueling race, spanning 600 miles over 400 laps on the 1.5-mile quad-oval track.

Held annually on Memorial Day weekend, the event begins in daylight and transitions into night, challenging teams to adapt to shifting track conditions as temperatures drop and grip levels change.

The race is divided into four 100-lap stages, making it the only Cup Series event with this format, offering drivers a maximum of 70 points if they sweep all stages and win the race.

Charlotte Motor Speedway, often referred to as “America’s Home for Racing,” features 24-degree banking in the turns and 5-degree banking on the straightaways, contributing to high-speed, competitive racing.

The 2025 edition marks the 66th running of this prestigious event and is set to be broadcast on Prime Video.

Notably, Kyle Larson is attempting the rare “Double Duty,” aiming to compete in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, a feat that tests the limits of driver endurance and skill.

The Coca-Cola 600 remains a cornerstone of NASCAR’s calendar, blending tradition, patriotism, and the ultimate test of man and machine.

NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 Head-to-Head Prediction

Ross Chastain -115 over Ty Gibbs

Easy play for me here as Chastain has been better at Kansas, Texas, Las Vegas, Darlington, and Phoenix with Miami being the only track similar to this one that Gibbs finished ahead of Chastain.

Chastain has 7 Top 10 finishes and Gibbs only has 2. Chastain should be the clear favorite here, I’m a big fan of this play.

Coca-Cola 600 Top Toyota Prediction

Christopher Bell +250 & Denny Hamlin +210

I’ll take a sprinkle on both guys at this price, if one of them finishes Top Toyota, we win money. Bell has 6 top 5 finishes, and Hamlin has 5 while Reddick is third with 3, and then it falls off a cliff.

They have the best cars out of all the Toyota’s, and unless something wonky happens they should be there at the end in the Top 7 range.
