This weekend, we head to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600. The race is Sunday at 6pm ET on PRIME. This is one of the biggest races of the year and one of the most challenging races for teams and drivers. On top of being 600 miles, the race starts during the daytime and finishes at night. There have been 18, 16, 7, and 8 cautions in the 4 Next-Gen races here. Last season was the 8-caution race. The 7-caution race in 2024 was a race shortened. I’ll be using recent Charlotte data, recent large high-speed intermediate data, 2026 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Qualifying was rained out and set by the metric.

The stages are 100, 100, 100, and 100, which is a total of 400 laps. That is 280 potential dominator points on DraftKings. It’s also 40 laps led points and 40 laps completed points on FanDuel. There have been at least 2 dominators in 6 of the last 8 Coca-Cola 600s.
