NASCAR 2024 Playoffs at Charlotte: Start time, TV, live stream, Roval race lineup

It’s time for another elimination race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, and this one will be the most unique yet.

Drivers will tackle the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval – which is part road course, part oval course – on Sunday with a third-round spot on the line. After Sunday’s race, eight drivers will advance and four will be eliminated from championship contention.

The Roval track was redesigned after last year’s race, although it is still a 17-turn race track. There are two main revisions: the first at turns 5, 6 and 7, which runs from the infield area back to the oval; and the second in turns 15, 16 and 17, tightening the front chicane before the start/finish line. The former could lead to more passing opportunities, while the latter could potentially cause chaos.
