It's NASCAR race night at Charlotte Motor Speedway and we've got the actual race start time, the starting lineup and some other facts about tonight's race for you below.

What time does the race start tonight? An official from the Wounded Warrior Foundation will give the command for drivers to fire their engines at 7:41 p.m. Eastern time tonight. Following a few pace laps, the drivers will take the green flag at 7:50 p.m. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the actual race itself, turn on your TV set at 7:50 p.m. EDT.
