After an action-packed All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway — throwback vibes, short-track tempers, and everything in between — NASCAR now rolls into Charlotte Motor Speedway for one of the biggest weekends of the year.
It’s time for the Coca-Cola 600 and what many call the greatest day in racing.
Of course, the big storyline heading into Sunday is Kyle Larson pulling double duty again — trying to pull off The Double with the Indianapolis 500 and the 600 on the same day.
Even beyond the Larson watch, there’s a lot to look forward to this weekend — great racing, a packed crowd and performances and tributes lined up for Memorial Day weekend. Charlotte always does a fantastic job of mixing remembrance with racing, and this year’s no different.
Grand Marshals
When NASCAR rolls back into Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600, the race will be kicking off with a special group leading the way. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is set to serve as one of the grand marshals for the 600, joining military reps from the Army, Marine Corps and Navy for the big moment.
Pre-Race Concert
Old Dominion are set to light up the pre-race stage ahead of the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, May 25.
The band boasts seven No. 1s on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart since 2015, including “Break Up With Him,” “One Man Band,” “Hotel Key” and more.
