Memorial Day Weekend is on the horizon, which means one thing — it’s time for the Coca-Cola 600. After the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series will head to headquarters, with Charlotte Motor Speedway taking center stage.
Last season, Christopher Bell won the rain-shortened event. It didn’t exactly live up to the advertised 600 miles due to Mother Nature. After winning the All-Star Race this past weekend, perhaps Bell can get back to Victory Lane in Charlotte, and capture his first points-paying win since his three-peat earlier this season.
With that in mind, FanDuel Sportsbook has released their betting lines for the entire field for this coming weekend’s race in North Carolina. Check out the full odds below, and see if your favorite driver has a shot at the dub in the Coca-Cola 600.
It was a busy weekend for Kyle Larson, as he had to deal with qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 amid preparing for the All-Star Race. Perhaps it was detrimental to his performance, as he finished P19 at North Wilkesboro.
As he attempts to pull The Double off this season, after last year’s unfortunate turn of events, Larson will be a factor in Charlotte if he gets to the track on time. He’s won the event once in 2021.
Tyler Reddick is still searching for win No. 1 of 2025. He’ll keep looking ahead to the Coca-Cola 600, as the exciting wheelman came home P7 in North Carolina.
While he’s never won at Charlotte, Reddick puts up some fantastic numbers at the track. He has back-to-back top fives in the event. He’ll be around when the checkered flag waves, that’s a safe bet.
Denny Hamlin came home P12 in North Wilkesboro. He’s been hot in 2025, but the veteran has cooled off a bit over the past few weeks, and the All-Star Race was a microcosm of his struggles as of late.
Perhaps the Coca-Cola 600 is what Hamlin needs to get back on track. He won the race in 2022, and it was a landmark moment. We’ll see if he can do it again.
Ryan Blaney was hoping to gain some momentum in the All-Star Race and use it to get his first win of the regular season in the Coca-Cola 600. If he does win this coming weekend, it won’t be because of his P16 finish in North Wilkesboro.
Looking ahead, Blaney won the Coca-Cola 600 in 2023, when it was run on a Monday instead of Sunday due to rain. There’s a precedent, but the Penske wheelman will have to rise above and notch his first checkered flag of 2025 if he’s to end his skid.
Christopher Bell secured the win at North Wilkesboro due to a late pass on Joey Logano. A million dollars richer, he’ll hope to use the momentum he gained during the All-Star Race to win once again at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600.
Can he go back-to-back, both on the season and in the Memorial Day Weekend event? That’s the million dollar question, no pun intended. Bet against Bell at your own risk, per usual.
William Byron started fifth in the All-Star Race. He seemed like he’d be a factor in the event, and while he never really contended for the win, he did come home P6. More than solid.
While Byron has two Daytona 500 wins to his name, the Coca-Cola 600 has eluded him. He finished P2 in 2023, and P3 in 2024. A win seems to be a matter of when, not if.
It was a day of eights for Kyle Busch at North Wilkesboro. The No. 8 Chevrolet wheelman started in P8, and that’s where he ended up. It was unique, if anything. Could’ve been better, could’ve been worse.
Here’s a wild stat, this will be Busch’s 52nd time racing at Charlotte in the NASCAR Cup Series. He started out in the No. 84 for Hendrick Motorsports at the track. He’s won the Coca-Cola 600 once, back in 2017, after starting on the pole, as well.
The sport’s most popular driver couldn’t get to Victory Lane in the All-Star Race, but Chase Elliott gave his fans plenty to cheer for. He came home P5 at the short-track over the weekend.
Elliott’s won a race at Charlotte in the past, but never the Coca-Cola 600. He finished P2 in 2020 to Brad Keselowski. What a fitting track this would be to win his first race in quite some time.
