Memorial Day Weekend is the biggest weekend in racing in America.

Indy 500 (Sunday 12:45 ET) and the Coca-Cola 600 (Sunday 6 pm ET).

Indy 500 will bring 350,000 fans to the track. It’s a race filled with pre-event pageantry, tradition and the race itself is always exciting even if it’s the only Motorsport event a fan watches all year. You don’t have to know a lot about racing to enjoy the Indy 500.

The Coke 600 at Charlotte is a grueling endurance test. Anything can and often does in a 600 mile test. Very tough to cap compared to most races. It’s one of NASCAR’s four Crown Jewel races and one most drivers would do anything to win.
Thank you for always keeping us posted in the racing world, Jay. Good luck with the weekend action! 💪

Makes for a really long day. You have to really focus and pace yourself when you start drinking to make sure you can make it to the of the 600. ;)
