This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway for their second visit of the season, this time on a newly-revised ROVAL. It's the same length, but quite different. Coverage Sunday begins with Countdown to Green at 2:30 p.m. ET on USA Network. Race coverage is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET, while the green
flag should fly around 3:05 p.m. ET. Radio coverage will be provided by local PRN radio affiliates and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90).
Records and facts
Last year's Bank of America ROVAL 400k was dominated by Kyle Larson. He managed to lead 62 of the 109 laps, including the final 33 en route to victory.
Larson won by 1.511 seconds over Christopher Bell. William Byron was third, then Austin Cindric and Chase Elliott.
There have only been seven races on the ROVAL to this point. Elliott and Larson both have two victories each.
