CHARLOTTE -- NASCAR teams are gearing up for the festivities surrounding the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend, including the Pit Crew Challenge.

Monday, Denny Hamlin's crew took some practice reps. The crew has earned a reputation for being tough to beat after winning the title in back-to-back years.

The challenge will be at Time Warner Cable Arena on Thursday, May 17. Tickets are on sale now.
