The Winners and Losers of the Rain-Shortened Coca-Cola 600
Christopher Bell Takes Victory
Christopher Bell has won a rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The race was stopped after 392 of 600 laps due to heavy rain that made it unsafe to continue. Bell, who started the race in 11th position, took the lead on lap 386 and held on for the victory. It is Bell's second career Cup Series win and his first at Charlotte.
Other Stage Winners
While Blaney earned the Stage 3 win, Chris Buescher claimed Stage 2 and Byron won the opening stage. The race was slowed by 13 cautions and featured 31 lead changes.
Rain Shortens Race
This is the fourth time in Coca-Cola 600 history that rain has prevented the race from being completed. The race was stopped in 1965, 1986, and 2019 due to rain. The race was also shortened in 2012 due to a crash on the final lap.
