2008 Carquest Auto Parts 300 Race Information

The Carquest Auto Parts 300 takes place on the 24th of May at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. This is the race that takes place just before the Coca Cola 600 on the Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend. So this is one weekend that is bound to be as interesting as anything else, if not to watch the drivers try and negotiate a path 200 times over, one can always stay behind and watch them try to do it 400 times over or so.

This race began with Harry Gant winning it way back in 1982 and back then it was called the Mello Yellow and from there on wards it has had a bellyful of names to be called by. The Winn- Dixie 300 between 1985 and 1988, then the Champion Spark Plug 300 from 1989 to 1994. Today it is called the Carquest Auto Parts 300, people should remember that it does not matter what it is called, the race itself depends on the track and not on the name that it is called today or what it was called way back then. The track, the Lowe’s Motor Speedway or also known as the Charlotte motor speedway is a 1.5 mile long quad-oval track, with the ability to conduct races at night time as well. This track banks at 24 degrees and with the upcoming race scheduled to run for 200 laps, let us just say that things are bound to get interesting, a lot interesting.
