CHARLOTTE (CHARLOTTE SPORTS LIVE) — For the second time this season, NASCAR is back in the Queen City. But while the drivers are in familiar territory, the challenge this weekend is entirely different than the one they experienced in May.
Now this playoff road race is their last chance to get into the Round of Eight. Who wants in? We’ll find out at the ROVAL 400.
Sunday’s race is one last chance for the drivers of the Cup and Xfinity Series to lock themselves in the Elite Eight. But now, there’s a twist, and a turn, and a straightaway in their way.
In this weekend’s episode of Around the Track, we’ve got America’s crew chief Larry McReynolds in the house, plus the reigning ROVAL champ, Xfinity and Cup Series driver A.J. Allmendinger is in garage confidential. We’ll even do a track walk with Xfinity series Stalwart Ryan Ellis.

- 109 laps, 253 miles
- 17 turns on 2.28-mile track
- 9 wins on ROVAL for Chevy
