The Bank of America Roval 400 was a NASCAR Cup Series race that was held annually from 2018 to 2025 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, United States. it was the second of two NASCAR races at the speedway, with the other being the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend.
The event was run as a 400 kilometer (248.5 mi) race using the infield road course configuration the track calls "The Roval" due to the combination of the Road Course and Oval. Reconfigurations to the Roval layout for the 2024 season onwards increased the length of the race to 407 kilometers (252.9 mi), while the lap count remained the same at 109.
Shane van Gisbergen is the final winner of the event.
Following the 2025 race, the race was again replaced by an oval-track race called the Bank of America 400.
History
The fall Charlotte race was originally held on the main oval layout until 2017, in which it was a Saturday night race from 2003 to 2016 following a rating boost from the 2002 race being delayed to later in the night (coincided with television primetime hours), although the final two races were held on Sunday afternoon due to rain delays. The 2017 race, the final race on the oval layout, reverted to a Sunday daytime race.
Starting in 2018, the race utilizes a road course configuration of Charlotte Motor Speedway, with a race distance of over 109 laps. Ryan Blaney would win the inaugural Roval Cup race after Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson collided on the final lap.
Realignment In 2020, the Bank of America Roval 400 was moved from late September to the middle of October and beheld as the final race of the Round of 12; the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway took Charlotte's former spot. Although rain was present, the 2020 races were run without any delays as cars continued in the wet with limited lighting, as was the case in the Xfinity race, making it the first NASCAR Cup race to use wet tires.All the rainy wrecking action from Charlotte's wet Roval race - Xfinity Series Extended Highlights
