Each Memorial Day weekend, Charlotte Motor Speedway becomes more than a racetrack — it becomes a place where speed and sacrifice share the same stage. The Coca-Cola 600, one of motorsport's longest and most demanding events, unfolds Sunday at 6:23 p.m. ET across 600 miles that shift from daylight into darkness, carrying with it the names of fallen U.S. service members on every windshield in the field. Kyle Larson leads the betting field, but the race's deeper tradition reminds us that some contests are measured in more than laps.
