Daytona Motor Mouths: Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600 arrive for Kyle Larson
The guys review the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro and preview Kyle Larson’s double attempt of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
In modern-era stock-car racing, where you start isn’t nearly as big a deal as it was in your grandpa’s day.
Today’s cars are more evenly matched, separated by mere eye-blinks of the stopwatch, from the front row to the southern reaches of the starting lineup. Also, especially at NASCAR’s highest level, the races are long, and a lot can go wrong to wipe out a certain driver’s speed advantage from pole day.
Yep, they’re long. And this one — the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte — is the longest.
He might be long forgotten by race’s end, but Chase Briscoe starts up front, alongside the man of the weekend, Kyle Larson. If all goes well and Larson arrives in time from his second Indy 500 start, he’ll have a nice starting spot at the Coke 600.
