As NASCAR’s longest continuously operating track, Charlotte Motor Speedway has hosted the Coca-Cola 600 every year since 1960 as one of stock car racing’s most demanding events. Its original asphalt surface and high 24-degree banked turns challenged drivers from the beginning over 400 grueling miles.

Today, the track strives to enhance the show for fans while preserving its rich history. This balance of innovation and tradition continues to produce iconic moments year after year. As one of NASCAR’s crown jewels taking place in North Carolina, the Coca-Cola 600’s home at Charlotte Motor Speedway is a perfect match.
