NASCAR has a long and storied history with the Coca-Cola 600 dating back to the 1960 season. Since that point, the NASCAR Cup Series has run a total of 64 events. However, which NASCAR driver has the most wins in the Coca-Cola 600? The answer won’t surprise you due to their previous success in the sport.
[autotag]Darrell Waltrip[/autotag] has five victories in the Coca-Cola 600, making him the most successful driver at the Crown Jewel event in NASCAR history. Waltrip is the only driver to have five victories at the event, as Jimmie Johnson sits in second place with four wins to his name. Waltrip’s last Coca-Cola 600 win came in 1989.
As for the active NASCAR driver with the most wins in the Coca-Cola 600, Martin Truex Jr. holds the lead with two victories. The next closest drivers are the ones with a single win, so Truex’s place at the top of the current winners in the Coca-Cola 600 could be shortlived. The 600-mile race is grueling, so winning the Crown Jewel is one of NASCAR’s best achievements.
