Ragan stresses preparedness for Coke 600

David Ragan cites the Coca-Cola 600 right up there with the rest of NASCAR's historic races: the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and the Southern 500.

Only the 600-miler is an even greater test of the endurance of both the driver and the car. "Half-way into the Coca-Cola 600, you're 300 miles in. And in a typical race you don't have much longer to go. In fact, that's about the standard distance of a Nationwide race. But in the 600, they tell you you're just half-way and you've got to do 300 miles all over again. So, it is a long night."-Breaking Limits

Coca-Cola 600 is one of Gilliland's favorites

The annual Coca-Cola 600 is one of David Gilliland's favorite races; it's also among the most challenging.

Gilliland has 13 career starts at the 1.5-mile oval. His best finish came last fall when he finished 23rd at the October Sprint Cup event. He says adjustability is the key to making it through Sunday night's 600-mile event - being ready to adapt the car to the changing conditions over the course of the night.
