Listen "1997 Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte)"
Episode Synopsis
The 11th race for the 1997 Winston Cup tour was the traditional Memorial Day Weekend running of the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It proved to be a very competitive race with some great action right from the drop of the green flag. Will Jeff Gordon or Mark Martin pick up the win and have a chance to win the Winston Million at the Southern 500 on Labor Day Weekend? Can Dale Jarrett bounce back from a rough race at Talladega to capture wins in back-to-back years at the Coke 600? Earnhardt looked strong at the Winston All Star Race a week prior can he finally break his long losing streak? Can one of the Labonte brothers pick up their first win of the season after having strong runs at The Winston last week? The Coke 600 has produced a first-time winner in 2 of the past 3 years. Will a new face make their way to victory lane, or it will be a veteran like Bill Elliott in the mist of long losing streak? Take a listen to a race that had a bit of everything— competitive side-by-side racing, a lengthy rain delay, pit stop strategy, and a great finish.
