The Favorite 

Denny Hamlin iscoming in hot off an All-Star Race winat Dover.And while it wasn’t a points race, coming into Charlotte after starting from the pole and leading 103 laps in last week’s exhibition could give him the momentum he needs to grab the checkered flag at the Coke 600.His first and only win at this race came in 2022.In 2025, he started 20th but finished 16th after posting the best lap of the day at 29.37 and leading 53 laps.

Long Shot to Watch 

While Katherine Legge is at the very bottom of this oddsboard, she’sone that fans might want to watchthis weekend as she attempts to run the motorsports Memorial Day Weekend double.Her day will begin at the Indy 500 as she starts at the Brickyard.Then, if weather permits, she’ll end her day on the track in Charlotte.Tony Stewart is the only driver ever to complete all 1,100 miles of The Double and that was back in 2001.
