After Formula 1's prestigious Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway comes alive for the deeply beloved tradition of the Indianapolis 500. The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600, the sport's longest race. A Coca-Cola 600 victory would also give him seven combined victories in crown jewel races, which would tie him for fifth among drivers who have won all three races. The good news, though, is that the Coca-Cola 600 has a long history of first-time winners. Johnson, who will start 12th at Indy, is one of five drivers in the Indianapolis 500 field with NASCAR experience.
