CONCORD, N.C. – Fans are descending on Charlotte Motor Speedway for the 66th running of NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600, the longest race of the Cup Series season and a signature event of Memorial Day weekend. Historic marathon returns Sunday The 400-lap, 600-mile endurance test fires off at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 25, with television coverage on FOX and streaming available on the Fox Sports app and FuboTV. Expect nearly four hours of racing as teams battle changing track temperatures from daylight to darkness. Starting lineup: Briscoe leads them to green Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe earned the pole at 183.779 mph, edging William Byron for the prime grid spot. The top-10 starters: 1. Chase Briscoe 2. William Byron 3. Tyler Reddick 4. Brad Keselowski 5. Ryan Blaney 6. Christopher Bell 7. Kyle Larson 8. Denny Hamlin 9. Chase Elliott 10. Ross Chastain Key storylines to watch • Double-duty drama: Kyle Larson plans to fly in from the Indianapolis 500 aiming to complete 1,100 combined miles in one day, something only Tony Stewart has accomplished. • 700 and counting: Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson makes his 700th Cup start as he chases a record-tying fifth Coca-Cola 600 victory. • Defending winner: Christopher Bell looks to go back-to-back after last year’s breakthrough Charlotte triumph. • Track evolution: A freshly repaved pit lane and a cool evening forecast could shift fuel windows and rubber build-up, adding strategy variables. Betting odds & sleepers Oddsmakers list Larson (+600) and Denny Hamlin (+800) as co-favorites, but value bettors are circling teammates Chase Elliott (+1000) and Ty Gibbs (+1600) on the strength of Gibbs’ mile-and-a-half speed. Fuel, tires and stage breaks Teams get nine sets of Goodyears to negotiate four stages (laps 100, 200, 300, 400). Long green-flag runs in past editions reward disciplined throttle control; saving one extra set for the closing 40 laps often proves decisive. How to attend Grandstand tickets start at $59, while infield camping remains available. Early arrivals can catch the pre-race military salute, a 600-drone light show and a post-race fireworks spectacular.
