Background
The Coca-Cola 600 is held at Lowe's Motor Speedway. The track is the home track for NASCAR, and therefore most of the teams are situated within 30 miles of the speedway. Since it is the home race, it is very prestigious to win. The winner was in 2008 the racer Kasey Kahne.http://nascar.about.com/od/2009nascarseason/p/cocacola600.htm
