Revving Up Memorial Day Weekend: Coca-Cola 600 Race Day Guide
Charlotte Motor Speedway will roar to life this evening for the 66th running of the Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR’s longest and most grueling Cup Series event. Green flag drops at 6 p.m. ET, capping a holiday weekend that already features Kyle Larson’s audacious bid to complete the Indy 500/Coke 600 “Double.”
Start Time & How to Watch
• Date: Sunday, May 25, 2025
• Time: 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT, 3 p.m. PT)
• TV/Streaming: Exclusive live coverage on Amazon Prime Video
Why the Coca-Cola 600 Matters
At 400 laps and 600 miles, Charlotte’s traditional Memorial Day showcase tests drivers’ endurance, pit-crew precision, and late-evening adaptability as the track transitions from blazing sun to cool night. Strategic tire management on the 1.5-mile quad-oval often decides the winner.
Key Storylines to Follow
1. Kyle Larson’s Double Duty – After chasing Borg-Warner glory at Indianapolis, Larson hops a jet to North Carolina aiming to make history by completing all 1,100 miles in one day.
2. Joe Gibbs vs. Hendrick – Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell look to spoil the Hendrick Motorsports party led by Larson, William Byron, and Alex Bowman.
3. First Year of the New Charter Cap – 2025’s three-charter limit reshaped team depth charts, putting extra pressure on single-car outfits to nail race-day strategy.
Track Facts & Winning Formula
• Progressive banking: 24° in the turns, 5° on the straights
• Pit-road speed: 45 mph
• Fuel window: ~52–56 laps
• Past winners often short-pit before Stage 3, banking on fresh tires during the lengthening night run.
Starting Lineup Highlights (Top 5)
1. William Byron – Pole at 182.730 mph
2. Kyle Larson
3. Christopher Bell
4. Denny Hamlin
5. Tyler Reddick
Odds & Sleeper Picks
• Race favorite: Kyle Larson (+400)
• Contenders: William Byron (+450), Denny Hamlin (+600)
• Sleeper: Alex Bowman (+1200) — excels in long-run balance
Fan Tips if You’re Heading to the Track
• Hydrate early; temps flirt with 85°F before sunset.
• Bring a scanner or download the NASCAR Drive app for live in-car audio.
• Military appreciation ceremonies begin at 4 p.m.; gates open at noon.
• Stick around for the post-race fireworks salute honoring service members.
Bottom Line
Whether you’re streaming on Prime or sitting under the Charlotte lights, tonight’s Coca-Cola 600 promises drama, strategy curves, and a potential place in racing folklore if Kyle Larson conquers the Double. Buckle up—600 miles stand between 40 drivers and NASCAR immortality.
