In Logan Lucky (2017), which NASCAR race is targeted by Jimmy Logan’s robbery plan?

Jimmy Logan’s robbery plan in Logan Lucky (2017) targets the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race.

The film follows Jimmy Logan, played by Channing Tatum, and his brother Clyde, played by Adam Driver. They recruit explosives expert Joe Bang, played by Daniel Craig, to steal money moving through the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the race. The setting is particularly important because the brothers use their knowledge of the speedway’s underground pneumatic-tube system.

The Coca-Cola 600 is an actual NASCAR Cup Series race held at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. It is traditionally run on Memorial Day weekend and is known as one of NASCAR’s longest races, covering 600 miles.

The fictional robbery is not a theft of the race itself or its trophy. It targets cash receipts generated at the speedway. The film uses the real race and venue as the foundation for its elaborate, regionally grounded caper.
