Coca Cola 600 Memorial Day Weekend

May 25, 2010

This Memorial day weekend NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers will be in Charlotte NC for the Coca Cola 600. Charlotte Motor Speedway has the honor of hosting the only 600 mile race in this year’s line up.

Some of this year’s Coca Cola 600 pre-game events are designed to honor our Armed Forces. Veterans from WW II, Vietnam, the Korean war, and modern day wars such as Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom along with all of our active serving members of the Armed Forces.

All of the activities kick off at 3:50 pm EST with the Let Freedom Race Coca Cola 600 per race show, featuring a parade of military vehicles and videos from the History Channel about World War II, the Korean war, and the Vietnam War. There will be a giant C-47 transport plane, the B-17 bomber like the Memphis Belle, an A1-H Skyraider, and a T-28 Trojan aircraft all flying over the heads of all the fans.

In past years, drivers like Jeff Gordon, Kasey Khane, and Jimmie Johnson have all had their spot in the winner’s circle. One of this year’s favorites is Kurt Busch. With last week’s win in the All-Star Race on the same track, he just might do it again. Jimmie Johnson, who has won this race three times in a row, is also a popular pick. But don’t count out last week’s 2nd place winner Martin Truex Jr. who is out to take 1st in the Coca Cola 600. Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Mark Martin, and David Reutimann meanwhile all have four things in common: they all have wins on this track, they all had wrecks in last week’s race, and they are all out to finish and finish strong in this Memorial Day Weekend’s Coca Cola 600.
