If NASCAR had “majors,” this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 would rank up there with Daytona and Talladega.

The longest event in stock car racing, a 600-mile marathon around the 1.5-mile oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway, will have its 62nd running at 6 p.m. Sunday.

The Coke 600 race is the finale of ”Speed Week” in Concord during Memorial Day weekend, which featured concerts by Flo Rida and the Steve Miller Band, motorcycle stunt shows, military appreciation events and more. Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform a pre-race concert today at the speedway on pit road at 3:50 p.m.

Denny Hamlin is on the pole.

What channel is the Coke 600 on?

The Coke 600 is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Sunday and will be broadcast on Fox (WJZY for viewers in Charlotte) and streamed online at FoxSports.com with a valid cable or satellite subscription.

For cord-cutters, the race on Fox can be streamed with a subscription to YouTube TV, Hulu+ Live TV and DirecTV Stream. It’s also available over the air.

Coke 600 weather forecast

It will be a warm one with temperatures expected to hover around 85 degrees in Concord when the green flag waves at 6 p.m., but there will be some cloud cover. No rain is in the forecast.
