Overview

  • The triple-header runs Oct. 3–5: Trucks race Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET (67 laps), Xfinity Saturday at 5 p.m. ET (67 laps), and the Cup cutoff race Sunday at 3 p.m. ET (109 laps).
  • The Bank of America Roval 400 is the Round of 12 elimination event, with four Cup drivers set to be cut as Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott are already locked into the Round of 8.
  • Forecasts call for mild temperatures and only low chances of showers across all three days, a contrast to the Roval’s past rain-hit races such as 2020.
  • Coverage spans FS2/FS1 and HBO Max for Trucks, the CW and HBO Max for Xfinity, and USA Network and HBO Max for the Cup race, with radio on PRN or MRN and SiriusXM.
  • The Cup race carries a reported $9.386 million purse, with Xfinity at $1.801 million and Trucks at $736,214, and the Cup winner typically earns roughly 8–10% of the total.
