    Today in Nascar History May 29th:

    Winners on this date: Bob Flock, Herb Thomas, Lee Petty (2 times), Junior Johnson, David Pearson, Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, and Martin Truex Jr.

    May 29th, 1994: Jeff Gordon passes Ricky Rudd with 9 laps to go and goes on to the victory in the Coca Cola 600. It is Jeff's first career Cup Series victory.




    May 29th, 2005: After Diamond Grinding the surface at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, the Coca Cola 600 turns into a wreckfest with countless accidents. The race still holds the record for cautions in a Cup Series race at 22. Jimmie Johnson battles Bobby Labonte in a photo finish to the line with Jimmie prevailing in the crazy event.

    Note: The Whole entire race is available on Youtube for watching-it is in 19 different parts-if anyone wants to watch the race.





    May 29th, 2011: In perhaps the wildest and most unpredictable day of auto racing events in history, Kevin Harvick nightcaps the day by winning in thrilling fashion in a fuel mileage derby in the Coca Cola 600. Dale Earnhardt Jr. appears headed for a victory to snap his long winless drought after a crazy late race restart but runs out of gas on the last corner, allowing Harvick to zoom by and score an unlikely 3rd win of the season. (It is also the longest race ever run as far as miles in Nascar history due to the Green White Checkered Finish). Earlier in the day the Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 both had equally thrilling and odd finishes, so coincidental in fact that the car leading on the last lap and last corner of the Indy 500 (and who crashed off the last corner and lost) had the National Guard sponsorship on it, just like Earnhardt Jr's car-an odd and unique turn of events indeed.





    May 29th, 2016: Martin Truex Jr. starts from the pole and pulverizes the field in the fastest Coca Cola 600 ever run. Truex leads an unfathomable 392 of 400 laps-or 588 miles of the 600 in the event to take his first Charlotte victory.
