Overview
- NASCAR published the official entry lists Monday, confirming a 39-car Cup field so every entered team will start the Coca‑Cola 600 and guaranteeing open entry drivers a spot on the grid.
- Katherine Legge is officially entered at Charlotte and is secured for her rare Indianapolis 500–Coca‑Cola 600 same-day double as a result of the 39-car field.
- The three-day weekend schedule is set: Craftsman Truck Series on Friday, O’Reilly/X Series on Saturday, Cup practice at 1:30 p.m. ET and qualifying at 2:40 p.m. ET on Saturday, and the Coca‑Cola 600 Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
- Tickets remain on sale through Charlotte Motor Speedway with a youth offer of $10 for kids 12 and under for Sunday, and radio coverage will be provided by PRN and SiriusXM in addition to Prime Video’s TV broadcast.
- Race context matters: the Coca‑Cola 600 is a 400-lap, 600-mile day‑to‑night endurance test that emphasizes tire management, pit execution and strategy, and defending winner Ross Chastain returns to attempt a repeat.
