Former President Donald Trump is “making plans” to attend this Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600, according to Charlotte Motor Speedway general manager Greg Walter.
“We are hearing that the 45th president of the United States is making plans to attend our race this weekend,” Walter told Erik Spanberg of the Charlotte Business Journal.
Trump, 77, would become the first president to attend a race at Charlotte. He notably attended the 2020 Daytona 500 during the final year of his presidency. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2024 election, was in Charlotte last month and held a campaign rally in Wilmington soon thereafter.
His presence in Charlotte could have an effect on Kyle Larson’s plans of becoming the fifth driver to complete the Indy-Charlotte Double. Larson qualified fifth for this Sunday’s 108th Running of the Indy 500 and following the conclusion of the race, is set to jet over to Charlotte to race in the Coca-Cola 600.
