Chase Elliott Wins NASCAR Charlotte Roval 400 Securing Playoff Spot

The NASCAR playoffs reach a critical juncture this weekend at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval, where the Round of 12 concludes with the Bank of America Roval 400 for the Cup Series. Chase Elliott recently secured his spot in the next playoff round with a dramatic win at Kansas, joining champion Ryan Blaney in the Round of 8. In addition to the Cup Series race on Sunday, the Xfinity Series holds its Blue Cross NC 250 on Saturday, while the Craftsman Truck Series makes its debut at the Roval with a race that starts Friday afternoon. The unique 17-turn, 2.32-mile Roval combines an oval with an infield road course, known for unpredictable and intense racing that often decides championship fates. Alongside these stock car series, the IMSA Ford Mustang Challenge adds to the weekend's excitement with two races on Saturday. Fans can watch these events on USA Network, CW Network, and stream via Peacock, HBO Max, Fubo, and others, with coverage beginning as early as Friday for the Truck Series and culminating Sunday with the Cup Series playoff race.
