The greatest weekend in racing is here. Monaco, the Indy 500, and the Coca-Cola 600 all run Sunday. Plus, NASCAR’s three lower national series all run at Charlotte Motor Speedway. There is no shortage of great racing to watch this Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of storylines to follow as well. For the NASCAR fans, Kyle Larson is the center of attention as he goes for the double (weather permitting). However, other headlines include the fallout from the Ricky Stenhouse Jr/Kyle Busch scuffle, trying to read the tea leaves of the charter situation, and wondering if Penske can pull their own version of the double in back-to-back seasons. In addition to those headlines, make sure you read up on the Pit Pass Network Predictions for the Charlotte weekend and the Indy 500.
