Coca Cola 600 Sprint Cup Series Date: May 29th, 2011 Time: 6 pm ET Speeday: Charlotte Motor Speedway Location: Concord, North Carolina

This weekend marks the 52nd running of NASCAR's endurance contest, the Coca-Cola 600, at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  The first race was ran back in 1960, when Joe Lee Johnson claimed the inaugural event victory. This year's race is a salute to the U.S. Armed Forces.

As usual, here we offer some good information about the event and also a little prediction of the top ten drivers for the competition. There are some important facts about the race: Only six times has the winner of the All-Star race has gone on to win the 600: Kasey Kahne (2008), Jimmie Johnson (2003), Jeff Gordon (1997), Dale Earnhardt (1993), Davey Allison (1991), and Darrell Waltrip (1985).

Tony Stewart has been the hottest driver on the circuit, and with a win in the All-Star race, a points win seems to be around the corner. But beware: Although he was won here in 2003, he has only posted three top-10s since then.

The race is going to take place at the Charlotte Motor Speedway this Sunday May 29th at 6 p.m ET. We can list the favorites and here we have the top ten for the race.
