Coca-Cola 600 Postponed Due to Rain

One of the biggest days of the year for racing has gone out on a whimper.

NASCAR made the decision to postpone the NASCAR Cup Series’ Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway from Sunday (May 28) to Monday (May 29).

Large amounts of rainfall made attempts to dry the track in a timely manner impossible.

The Cup stars will take to the track after the NASCAR Xfinity Series race concludes; it was previously postponed to Monday from Saturday. The Xfinity race was moved up to an 11 a.m. ET start to accommodate the Coca-Cola 600’s addition to the schedule.
