The 2025 Coca-Cola 600 was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on May 25, 2025, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina and the 66th running of the event. It was contested over 400 laps on the asphalt speedway, it was the 13th race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, as well as the second of the four crown jewel races.
Kyle Larson attempted a Double Duty, racing in the 2025 Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. It is his second attempt after failing to succeed in 2024, as last year's Coca-Cola 600 was called for rain. Larson crashed 91 laps into the Indianapolis 500, which allowed him to leave Indianapolis early and reach Charlotte in time.
Ross Chastain won the race. William Byron, after dominating most of the night, leading 283 laps and sweeping the 3 stages, finished 2nd, and Chase Briscoe finished 3rd. A. J. Allmendinger and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top five, and Chase Elliott, Michael McDowell, Christopher Bell, Ryan Preece, and Noah Gragson rounded out the top ten.
Chastain made history with his win, after starting from 40th position. He set the record for the lowest starting position of an eventual winner in the history of the Coca-Cola 600, as well as in the history of Charlotte Motor Speedway.
