May race
The Charbroil 300 is an annual 300 miles (480 km) NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina during Memorial Day weekend as a support race for the Coca-Cola 600. Ross Chastain is the defending race winner.
History
The race's origins trace back to 1978, when a NASCAR Late Model Sportsman Series race was held the day before the World 600. In 1982, it then became a Busch Series race.
From its inception through 2004, the race was scheduled for Saturday afternoon. In 1985 only, it was held the same day as The Winston. Lights were installed at Charlotte in 1993, and from 2005 to 2009, the race was a Saturday night race. In 2010, the race was moved back to 2:30 p.m. Eastern in response to fans wanting an afternoon race and allowing for ABC coverage.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1235654. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 1978, 2004 and 1985.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
