NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 | Charlotte Motor Speedway Open Race Thread

I love the Coca Cola 600 - always have, always will. Back in the old days I used to hate it when the regular television networks didn’t carry the race and it was covered by TBS or TNT because then I didn’t get to see it. Oh how I don’t long for the old days!

Still lots to do and watch today as the Indy 500 is on - don’t you think that since the split in Indy the 500 has lost some of its lustre? Even now since the two Indy factions have rejoined, the Indy 500 has still lost some of its previous importance for me. How about you? You feel the same way?

Starting line-up on the other side, see you there.
