2007 Coca-Cola 600
The 2007 edition of the Coca-Cola 600, the twelfth race of the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup season was held on Sunday, May 27, 2007 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte. This race is the longest by distance on the NASCAR calendar, and for the last decade and a half, has started in the late afternoon and ended at night under the lights.
Previously, this race had gone head-to-head against another famous automobile race held during the Memorial Day weekend in the United States, the Indianapolis 500. (However, the end of the Indy 500 and the start of this race were held simultaneously in 2007, due to a three-hour delay due to rain at "the Brickyard.")

Famous quotes containing the word coca-cola:
“The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger- print of reality upon the beautiful.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
