Stormy weather . . .
For the second time this NASCAR Cup Series season, the weekend’s race has been moved to Monday because of rain.

The Coca-Cola 600 is the longest race of the NASCAR season. This year’s iteration of the event will be accompanied by one of the longer delays of the year, too; the race, initially scheduled to be run under the lights on Sunday, was pushed to Memorial Day after steady rain overtook the track.
That means one more day of waiting to watch superstars like Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson and even Jimmie Johnson attempt to capture the famed race — one of the crown jewels of American stock car racing.

Conditions during the weekend should make for an unpredictable event. Qualifying was canceled as a result of the weather, as was practice. As such, it will take drivers some real adjusting to get themselves up to speed. Still, with four stages and 400 laps, they’ll have plenty of time to find it.
A good run at Charlotte Motor Speedway in late May gives a driver a place in racing lore for posterity. The question is, who will be in front in clean air at the end?
