NASCAR Mourns Kyle Busch at a Solemn Coca-Cola 600
- Sold out for the fifth straight year, the Coca-Cola 600 expects 95,000 fans at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday night as the 39-driver field returns for NASCAR's longest race following Kyle Busch's sudden death.
- Dying Thursday, May 21, Busch, 41, left a void in the sport due to severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis; the two-time Cup Series champion had 63 career wins, ranking ninth all-time.
- Every car will carry a black No. 8 decal honoring the two-time champion, while Richard Childress Racing switched to a No. 33 Chevrolet with Austin Hill driving, intending to retire Busch's number until his son Brexton grows up.
- NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell stated postponing the race was never considered, noting "Busch would probably be pretty off if we didn't race." Defending champion Ross Chastain described the garage vibe as heavy with emotion.
- Katherine Legge will attempt 'The Double' on Sunday, racing the Indy 500 before flying to Charlotte for the 400-lap Coca-Cola 600 starting at 6 p.m. ET despite the somber mood surrounding the race.
