2025 Charlotte Motor Speedway Pit Stall Lineup Revealed

Charlotte Motor Speedway is set for a full weekend of NASCAR action with pit stall assignments released for all major series racing on the legendary 1.5-mile track. The action starts Friday, May 23, as the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series lines up for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Fans will be watching closely on FS1 or listening on NRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio to see which teams gain the advantage with their pit selections.

Saturday features the NASCAR Xfinity Series BetMGM 300, with engines firing at 4:30 p.m. ET. The Xfinity field will take the green flag broadcast live on The CW, while pit stall choices could play a crucial role in race outcomes.

Drivers and teams worked through qualifying to secure premium pit positions along Charlotte’s frontstretch, chasing any edge for faster, smoother stops during the 200-lap contest.

The highlight of the weekend is Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600, the 65th running of NASCAR’s longest and arguably most challenging race. Scheduled for May 25, 2025, the race is set to start at 6:00 p.m. ET with an expected green flag at 6:27 p.m. ET.

Televised on Amazon Prime and covered by PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, the 600-mile endurance test features 400 laps divided into four stages, and includes a massive $13,651,450 purse. With 40 teams on the entry list, including open entries for Derek Kraus, Josh Bilicki, Jimmie Johnson, and Connor Zilisch, competition for pit road real estate was fierce.

The fastest qualifiers selected the most sought-after stalls, which can influence drivers’ track position at every stop.

This year’s event brings a blend of tradition and special moments. Jimmie Johnson will make his 700th start with a tribute car, while NASCAR recognizes military heroes and fallen service members with commemorations planned throughout race weekend.

Drivers like Kyle Larson and veterans from multiple series will race under the lights, and special paint schemes honoring historical moments and sponsors such as ZERO Prostate Cancer add to the spectacle. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has also been named as an honorary Grand Marshal.

Practice and qualifying for Sunday’s event will take place Saturday at 1:35 p.m. ET, exclusively aired on Amazon Prime. Official resources like NASCAR’s official site will provide details on starting lineups, crew rosters, Goodyear tire data, and results after each session.

Track conditions, including a weather forecast for Concord, NC, will be updated regularly as teams strategize for pit assignments and race setups.

Charlotte Motor Speedway is famous for its high speeds and unique pit road layout, which has been a deciding factor in past Coca-Cola 600s. Looking back at historical races, pit decisions have created dramatic moments and shaped the final outcome.

Race fans will remember previous winners and standout performances from events held in May and October over the years, as new stories are written each season.

As the engines roar to life this Memorial Day weekend, all eyes will be on which teams can best use their pit assignments to gain an advantage at one of NASCAR’s signature events. With a packed schedule, notable drivers, and time-honored tributes on deck, the 2025 Charlotte race weekend looks ready to deliver another memorable chapter in NASCAR history.
