What time is the NASCAR race today? What to know for the Coke 600 including lineup, odds, start time
One of the busiest weekends in NASCAR has all come down to auto racing's version of "War and Peace".
Yep, welcome to the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, a 400-lap marathon that will bring the Cup Series into the second half of its regular season and looms as one of the sport's crowned-jewel races.
Over the last couple of years in the Gen-7 era, the race has become a fan favorite and Sunday night should be no different with mile-and-a-half racetracks now serving as schedule highlights.
Among the storylines is Kyle Larson, who will attempt the Indy/Charlotte double on Sunday. He's still atop of the NASCAR odds board. Also, the resurgence of Ford, with Brad Keselowski winning at Darlington and Joey Logano dominating last week's All-Star Race. Ryan Blaney, another Ford driver, is the defending winner of the 600.
