NASCAR 2023 Coke 600 schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Kyle Larson took a dominate victory in the All-Star Race at a newly revived North Wilkesboro Speedway last weekend.

NASCAR is back in action this Sunday for one of its crown jewel events and its longest race of the season -- the Coke 600.

Denny Hamlin is defending winner of the event, which wasn't lacking in action. After a four-wide battle for the win ended in a crash coming to the white flag, Hamlin held of then-teammate Kyle Busch to win the race.

This week, Hendrick Motorsports revealed that Alex Bowman will be back behind the wheel of the No. 48 car at Charlotte.

Trackhouse Racing also announced its newest Project 91 driver. Three-time Australian Supercars champion Shane van Gisbergen will pilot the No. 91 Chevrolet at the Chicago Street Course race.

Despite a late-race crash while battling for the Darlington win, Ross Chastain remains in control of the championship standings, 27 points ahead of Christopher Bell.

Who is racing at Charlotte?

37 cars are on the entry list with one open entry. That one open entry would be seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson, making his third start of the year. Zane Smith is behind the wheel of the No. 38 FRM Ford, so Todd Gilliland will drive the No. 51 RWR entry this weekend. Josh Berry is out of the No. 48 Hendrick Chevrolet as Bowman makes his return after a one-month recovery.

Practice and qualifying were rained out, so the metric decided the starting lineup. William Byron and Kevin Harvick will lead the field to the green flag.
