Memorial Day weekend in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing means only one thing, the Coca-Cola 600. It is the longest event in stock car racing, and one of the most difficult. It's prestige has grown over the years, and winning here is something a driver will never forget. In 1994, Jeff Gordon scored his first Winston Cup points race win in the Coca-Cola 600. In 2000, Matt Kenseth scored his first career win in the 600, and last year it was Casey Mears breaking through and breaking out.
Lowe's Motor Speedway is fast, and it's mean. This race's length makes it difficult on the drivers, crew-chiefs and engine tuners. The crew-chiefs have a long and difficult task ahead of them to keep up with the changing racetrack, see the race starts in the afternoon and undergoes three phases into eventual darkness. That type of race has physical and mental affects on all the teams, and the one who can overcome that and endure the Beast of the Southeast might be the one sitting in victory lane. In 2005, at the redesigned Lowe's Motor Speedway, the 600 saw a record number of cautions. Last week, however, there were no cautions in the All-Star race. A new car can make all the difference in the type of action on Sunday night.
Jimmie Johnson has won here many times at the track he calls "my house." Last week, it looked like Kasey Kahne (the 2006 Coca-Cola 600 winner) evicted Jimmie. Sam Hornish was mad fast in the race, and Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch have dominated on the mile and a half racetracks all year.
Here, we've had now the first lead change in the SOMD Fantasy Challenge point standings. Harvick29, who's dominated until now, has slipped to third and the race is tightening up front for the lead, but the black hole we call the Nachozone is getting bigger and is fixing to suck in a couple forumites. Here are the standings:
