Dry Forecasts Set Stage for Charlotte Roval Playoff Elimination Weekend

Dry forecasts sharpen focus on playoff eliminations.

Overview

  • All three national series run the Roval from Oct. 3–5, with Trucks Friday (67 laps), Xfinity Saturday (67), and the Cup Series’ Bank of America Roval 400 Sunday (109).
  • Forecasts call for mostly dry conditions across the weekend with only low chances of rain, generally near zero early and rising to roughly 6–10% by Sunday afternoon.
  • The Cup and Xfinity races serve as Round of 12 eliminators that will cut four drivers from each field, while the Truck Series opens its Round of 8.
  • The 2.28-mile, 17-turn Roval’s hybrid layout is known for unpredictability, and teams remain ready for wet contingencies after the rain-affected 2020 race that required Goodyear wets.
  • Coverage spans multiple outlets: Trucks on FS1 and HBO Max with MRN/SiriusXM, Xfinity on HBO Max and The CW with PRN/SiriusXM, and Cup on USA Network and HBO Max with PRN/SiriusXM, with practice and qualifying on FS2, USA Network, and truTV.
