After hours spent under red flag for weather, NASCAR made the call to end the Coca-Cola 600 as their window to complete the remaining 151 laps diminished.
NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway ended up being the Coca-Cola 373.5 after weather prematurely ended the race. A caution was through for rain at lap 245 and a red flag followed four laps later as lightning was active in the area. With this, drivers brought the cars to the pit lane and returned to their motorhomes for hours, waiting for the race to resume. Christopher Bell, who started third and led a field-leading 90 laps of the race, was at the front at the time.
'One driver who was not in Charlotte to start the race, Kyle Larson, got to the track by helicopter literally as the yellow flag was being thrown. Justin Allgaier was driving the No. 5 Hendrick car as a relief driver since Larson was racing in the Indianapolis 500. Allgaier was running in 13th place when Larson arrived at the track; it seemed almost kismet that Hendrick could pull off the driver swap under yellow. Then luck turned again, and the race would never get restarted.
