Storylines Abound Heading Into Charlotte Motor Speedway’s First-Ever NASCAR Triple-Header Coca-Cola 600 Weekend
May 24, 2021
CONCORD, N.C. (News Release) – With capacity restrictions lifted, tens of thousands of fans are expected at Charlotte Motor Speedway – and millions more will tune in from around the world – for an action-packed Coca-Cola 600 weekend this Friday through Sunday, and there will be no shortage of storylines to keep fans on the edge of their seat during the first-ever triple-header weekend of racing at the iconic superspeedway.
Here are a few of the top storylines to watch this weekend:
The Door’s Wide Open: Kyle Busch, an eight-time winner of the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, is not scheduled to participate in this year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Busch’s absence substantially increases the probability of the race having a new winner as veterans Matt Crafton (2008 & 2016) and Johnny Sauter (2018)

The NASCAR Cup Series will make its debut at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on Sunday.
The 3.4-mile course has been used by the IndyCar Series and Formula 1, but most of the NASCAR competitors have no experience there.
Sunday s trip to Texas is one of a few unique challenges added to the 2021 schedule. The Cup Series already competed on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Because of the unfamiliarity with the COTA track, the Cup Series drivers will compete for starting spots in a qualifying session Sunday morning.
For most of the season, the starting lineups have been set by a formula that takes into account the past week s results and the points standings. This was put into effect to shorten the time at the track because of COVID-19 protocols.

A quarter of a century after its last NASCAR event, Wilkes County, North Carolina has been heard loud and clear. We want you back.
Of course, they never wanted NASCAR to leave in the first place, but that’s long bygones by this point. With the NASCAR industry embracing its roots with a pursuit of additional short track events and a road relevant race car, North Wilkesboro Speedway aligns with the concurrent push to revive Fairgrounds Nashville Speedway too.
