NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600: Start time, how to watch, TV channel, livestream

Everything you need to know ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The longest race on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar is set to take place on Sunday evening at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Current Cup Series standings leader Kyle Larson is a hot topic this weekend as he attempts The Double. After racing in the Indy 500, the Hendrick Motorsports driver will rush over to Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Chase Briscoe will start the race from pole position, followed by the Hendrick Motorsports drivers Larson and Williams Byron in second and third, respectively. Commenting to the media after securing pole, the 30-year-old driver explained:

"Yeah, I mean, it's definitely rough down there. It kind of changes year to year. Some of them get better, some of them get worse. But honestly, I feel like the Cup cars take them a lot better than like the Xfinity car.

"It's definitely was nice. It's going to be great to start up front tomorrow. Just this race, obviously, it's a long race. Just having that No. 1 pit stall, and being able to start up front and in clean air is huge in these cars."
