Bell dominated the race, leading an impressive 90 laps to secure his eighth victory in the Cup Series. This remarkable win also marked his first triumph in the Coca-Cola 600.

Brad Keselowski came in second place, William Byron finished third, Tyler Reddick took fourth, and Denny Hamlin completed the top five.

As soon as Kyle Larson reached Charlotte Motor Speedway to hop into the driverโ€™s seat of the Hendrick Motorsportsโ€™ No. 5 Chevrolet, the race got red-flagged. The track officials made an effort to dry the track, but unfortunately, the moisture in the air made it impossible.

Kyle Larson arrives for Coca-Cola 600 and set to take over for Justin Allgaier following rain delay

Kyle Larson showed up at Charlotte Motor Speedway, ready to jump behind the wheel of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in the Coca-Cola 600. Meanwhile, fans were eagerly waiting for the race to continue after a delay.

Larson managed to complete the rain-delayed Indianapolis 500 in 18th place. Afterwards, he hopped on two helicopters and a plane to ensure he made it back in time for NASCARโ€™s longest race.

Justin Allgaier began the race in the No. 5 car and was cruising in 13th position with 151 laps remaining when the race came to a halt due to a red flag.

Track officials predicted that it would take at least half an hour before the race could continue.

Larson pulled up to the track in a golf cart, hustled over to his pit stall in his fire suit, and then slipped on his helmet, ready to hop into the car. Just as he was getting settled, the race came to a halt.

Allgaier, who mainly competes in the Xfinity Series, was chosen to take over for Larson due to their comparable body type and seat configuration.

Larson was aiming to be the first driver to complete all 1,100 laps at the double since Tony Stewart, but unfortunately, rain in Indianapolis ruined his chances. The four-hour delay led Hendrick Motorsports to bring in a backup driver.

Larson finished the Indy 500 with about 120 laps into the 400-lap Coca-Cola 600, then departed for Charlotte.

He never had the chance to take a lap at Charlotte.

DEFENDING CHAMP OUT EARLY

Ryan Blaneyโ€™s attempt to secure consecutive victories in the Coca-Cola 600, a feat not achieved since Jimmie Johnson in 2004-05, was thwarted when his front right tire blew out on lap 143. This unfortunate incident caused him and his No. 12 Ford to collide with the wall, ultimately bringing his night to an early end.

Blaney mentioned that after coming off pit road and putting new tires on, he experienced a blown tire going into turn three. He expressed uncertainty about whether he ran over something or not, but found the situation odd. He added that they would need to review the issue further, stating that it was unfortunate.
