NASCAR is heading home for a triple-header weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway, featuring the sport's longest race with the 67th running of the Coca-Cola 600.
Ross Chastain is the defending winner of the Coke 600, driving from last to first to win in 2025. This weekend, he and teammate Connor Zilisch are attempting to complete 1,101 miles of racing between all three national divisions at Charlotte. Unfortunately, they may also have to contend with Mother Nature, as rain is a threat all weekend.
Denny Hamlin enters Charlotte with the momentum after collecting the $1 million prize in the Dover All-Star Race, but 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick is the championship leader.
