NASCAR leaves Charlotte Motor Speedway where Brad Keselowski won the Coca Cola 600 and Chase Elliott claimed the checkered flag in the second race of the week at CMS. Denny Hamlin finished second in that race and Ryan Blaney third.
Hamlin is the most recent winner at Bristol, beating out Matt DiBenedetto in a thrilling finish last August.
Kevin Harvick enters this weekend's event with the championship lead, just 14 points clear of Joey Logano.
