Plenty of patriotic paint jobs in Charlotte this weekend. FOX’s Chris Hoenig has this week’s NASCAR�preview: This weekend, just as it is every Memorial Day weekend, it’ll be 600 miles of remembrance for NASCAR, with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. Green flag set for Sunday at 6 PM�Eastern on FOX. 400 laps around the mile-and-a-half oval. Jimmie Johnson has the most Memorial Day wins of any active driver with four�career Coca-Cola 600 victories. He likes that they’ve added an extra groove to the track this weekend for more side-by-side racing: (Johnson) “Charlotte Motor Speedway works as hard as they possibly can to put on a great show. They’re open-minded to any and every idea. But mile-and-a-halves do put on a certain style of racing.”� Remember, there’s an extra stage in this race, so bonus points for whoever leads after laps 100, 200 and 300. Regan Smith will be behind the wheel of the No.�43 Ford as Aric Almirola continues to recover from his broken back. No word who will drive the car after this. Almirola is expected to be out between two�and three months. Also a big weekend for IndyCar. The Indy-500 set for Sunday afternoon. FOX�in the Fast Lane,�I’m Chris Hoenig, FOX News.
