Coca-Cola Racing Family Legends Named Coke 600 Grand Marshals

CONCORD, N.C. — With five Coca-Cola 600 victories between them, Coca-Cola Racing Family legends Jeff Burton, Dale Jarrett, Bobby Labonte and Kyle Petty are no strangers to leading the field at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Memorial Day Weekend event.

This year, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Coca-Cola Racing Family, the four NASCAR greats will lead the command to fire engines ahead of the historic 64th running of the iconic race.

“It’s fitting, during NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season and as we mark 25 years of the Coca-Cola Racing Family, that we honor the living legends who helped build our sport and create countless memories through the years,” said Charlotte Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager Greg Walter. “As we look to write the next chapter in the history of this illustrious event, what a treat it will be for fans to have Jeff, Dale, Bobby and Kyle not only offer the command, but also behind the wheel of our Grand Marshal cars for a few memorable laps.”

In a nod to the Memorial Day Weekend, the drivers will be introduced by Lisa Marie Riggins, USO regional president of the Southeast region and executive director of the National Capital District.
