Held every spring at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, this crown jewel race is one of the longest and toughest races on the calendar. This year, however, it’s found itself on a new platform, open to fans in a fresh way. The first race of the season to be live-streamed on Amazon Prime is the Coca-Cola 600.

The first race took place in 1960. Joe Lee Johnson won the first edition with a Chevrolet. Since then, 56 different drivers have won at Charlotte, with 30 of them being multiple race winners on track. Darrell Waltrip has the record for most wins at the Coca-Cola 600 with five. Jimmie Johnson comes in a close second, with four.

When it comes to teams, Hendrick Motorsports is at the top. They’ve won the Coca-Cola 600 12 times, the most by any team. Their winning dominance started in 1988 and stretched to 2021. Behind them are Richard Childress Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing, each with three wins.

On the car side, Chevrolet leads all manufacturers with 25 wins at this race. Ford comes next with 14. Other manufacturers have booked a win as well, namely, Dodge, Toyota, Mercury, Plymouth, Buick, and Pontiac.
