Did You Notice the Names on All 40 Cars During NASCAR Coca-Cola 600? Here's What They Mean.
May 30, 2016
NASCAR's Martin Truex Jr. won Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 in dominating fashion, leading the race for all but eight of the four hundred laps he drove at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
In addition to Truex's impressive victory, NASCAR and all of the drivers on the track participated a special Memorial Day Tribute during the race, with each car carrying the name and rank of a member of the U.S. military who died while serving the country.
