NASCAR at Charlotte 2023: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Coca-Cola 600

NASCAR Cup Series drivers will have to wait an extra day for the series' longest and most grueling race, after the Coca-Cola 600 was postponed until Monday because of persistent rain in Concord, North Carolina.

When the green flag eventually flies, drivers will hit the gas for 600 miles at Charlotte Motor Speedway ― though last year's race, which went to multiple overtimes, took 619 miles to complete.

The Coca-Cola 600 has produced five different winners in the last five years — Kyle Busch (2018), Martin Truex Jr. (2019), Brad Keselowski (2020), Kyle Larson (2021) and Denny Hamlin (2022) — but Truex has won three times overall, tied with Kevin Harvick for most among active drivers.

Here is all the information you need to get ready for Monday's Coca-Cola 600:
