Around the Track: Preview the Bank of America Roval 400

CHARLOTTE (CAROLINA SPORTS LIVE) — 17 turns over two miles and a hairpin turn that will likely take drivers out of this race is what will make this wildcard weekend special.

You don’t have to be a road course ace like Shane Van Gisbergen to win this race. It helps, but with aspects of everything NASCAR drivers go through in the season crammed into one track, the winner could be decided on pit road.

If you ask the drivers about this stop, some will say they love it, others say they would rather be at an oval. Either way, it’s a drive to survive on a track that many are calling a home race.

Track trends

🏁 Four of the five previous Charlotte Roval winners are current playoff drivers (AJ Allmendinger is the outlier from 2023).

🏁 Twice has the winner of this race gone on to win the championship- Chase Elliott in 2020 and Kyle Larson in 2021.

🏁 Ford has not won on Charlotte’s Roval since the inaugural race in 2018, when Ryan Blaney took the checkered flag.

🏁 Overtime has only happened once in the Roval’s existence.

🏁 Only once has a car that qualified in the top five won the race- Chase Elliott in his championship year.

Sunday’s race from Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course starts at 3 p.m.
