The qualifying order for the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been officially released, setting the stage for one of NASCAR’s crown jewel events. Drivers will take to the track in single-car qualifying runs to determine their starting positions for Sunday night’s grueling 600-mile race, the longest on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar.
This year, the field is stacked with top contenders. Reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is scheduled to roll off early in the qualifying session, while Kyle Larson, who dominated the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro, will attempt his run in the latter half, potentially benefitting from a more rubbered-in track. Fan-favorites such as Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr. are also poised for strong outings as they look to capitalize on prime starting spots.
Qualifying strategy could play a crucial role, especially with expected hot and slick track conditions. Teams are closely monitoring tire pressures and engine tuning to extract every bit of speed in their single-lap efforts.
The Coca-Cola 600, a Memorial Day weekend tradition, is more than a race—it’s a tribute to military service members and a major test of endurance for teams and drivers alike.
