The Fallen Heros Being Honored at This Weekend’s Coke 600

A tradition in NASCAR since 2018, drivers will replace their names on their windshields with the names of fallen American service members. They do this in honor of Memorial Day each Coca-Cola 600, and that tradition continues in 2024. Today we look at the names of each of those fallen.

Outside of the windshield banner, which features 1st Lt. Ring, 35 fallen heroes will ride in Martin Truex Jr.’s No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Camry. (Header Image)
