      <description><![CDATA[STATESVILLE, N.C. (May 21, 2013) - David Ragan cites the Coca-Cola 600 right up there with the rest of NASCAR's historic races: the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and the Southern 500.  Only the 600-miler is an even greater test of the endurance of both the driver and the car.
