Coca-Cola 600 Preview
The 1.5 mile Charlotte Motor Speedway oval covers 400 laps, and it’s the longest race of the year. Two-time winner Martin Truex Jr. emerged victorious in 2019, but he will have some extraordinary competition again Sunday. Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Alex Bowman areas currently the top three drivers in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series standings, but Denny Hamlin could be the one to beat.
Hamlin has had two top-five finishes in the last week. After finishing fifth at Darlington a week ago last Sunday, Hamlin took the checkered flag Wednesday at the Toyota 500, as well. Joey Logano see the size of the track at Charlotte being a potential factor in the race. “There is more room at Charlotte than at Darlington, so you will see more aggressive moves,” Logano said of the speedway.
“For us to find a way to get back to the racetrack as a sport and industry and get back to work before most was an amazing opportunity NASCAR saw,” Logano said. “It was important for all of our livelihoods. I’m proud to be part of this sport to be able to do that in the safest way we can.”
Logano also noted that while things are drastically different for everyone involved right now, his job ultimately remains the same. “The protocol part is a little weird, but it is what it is and I’m glad we’re doing it – don’t get me wrong,” he said. “As far as once you’re strapped in the car and racing nothing is different, nothing at all. The way you communicate to your team, we’re used to being secluded inside of a race car and only communicate through your radio. That’s what we do. That’s our job. Nothing changes from the driver’s standpoint.”
