The final installment on the biggest weekend of global motorsport - following on from 99th Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix before that - comes from the 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway, where the cars and stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series set off on a 600-mile journey, the longest and toughest of the season.
It's one of the sport's biggest races, and will be run before something close to a capacity crowd in a city that's the centre of the sport these days, home to race teams and officials. It's a "home game" for crews and drivers, and the late-afternoon start transitioning into night time the day before the Memorial Day holiday is always a highlight. It's a big weekend at Charlotte, with the young guns of the Xfinity Series in their own 300-mile race the day before.
All times AEST.
