2021 NASCAR Cup Series - Coca-Cola 600

The Memorial Day Weekend brought racing fans in America two of the biggest racing events ever happened; there was the Indy 500 on the IndyCar side and then there's the Coca-Cola 600 on the NASCAR side. As this year's Indy 500 came to an end, the longest night in NASCAR racing begins at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

As the green flag waved, the longest race of the season begins with some serious racing action where close-quarter overtakes truly explain a lot. As Kyle Larson wins Stage 1, Stage 2 saw plenty of action on the track until the #6 car of Ryan Newman's experiencing problems after a collision with the wall, triggering the caution as the end of Stage 2 draws near with Larson on top. As Stage 3 saw another win for Larson, the climax saw no signs of stopping him.
