Held on Memorial Day weekend, the event typically includes tributes to the military as part of its patriotic ceremonies.

A key part of NASCAR since 1960, the Coca-Cola 600 is one of the series' oldest and most historic races. The race's extended duration means it often shifts from day to night, impacting track conditions and car performance, requiring teams to adjust their strategies accordingly.

The Coca-Cola 600 is counted among NASCAR's "Crown Jewels," a group that includes the Daytona 500, the Southern 500, and the Bristol Night Race.

The 2024 event will be the 65th edition of the Coca-Cola 600 and is scheduled to take place on May 26th, 2024.

The race occurs on the same date as the IndyCar Series' Indianapolis 500. Drivers frequently undertake 'Double Duty,' racing in both events on the same day. However, it's a tradition that the reigning Indianapolis 500 winner does not compete in this race.
