An additional stage playoff point will be up for grabs for Monster Energy Series drivers in NASCAR’s longest race of the year.
NASCAR announced Monday morning that a fourth stage will be added to the May 28 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (5:30 p.m. ET, FOX).
With the addition, the first three stages will end at Lap 100, 200 and 300, while the final stage will conclude at Lap 400.
As the additional fourth stage makes the Coke 600 worth more than any other race this season, the sanctioning body also noted this will be the only Monster Energy Series race that will feature an extra stage.
