The Coca-Cola 600 is one of the more unique races in the NASCAR Cup Series calendar. Racers have to deal with ever-changing light conditions, typically starting the race in daylight and ending it under the lights.

That can make for a grueling test. However, under the lights of Charlotte Motor Speedway, one of the more iconic venues in NASCAR, it will likely prove an enthralling affair.

There are a number of veterans who have impressed at Charlotte in the past. Kyle Busch has taken the checkered flag three times, while Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin have two wins on the storied Charlotte asphalt. They'll be hoping to hold off the young bucks and secure a momentous victory on Sunday, one that can spark a push up the Cup Series leaderboard.

Here's all the information you need to watch Sunday's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, including the TV channel and start time.
