Charlotte Motor Speedway Unveils Faster, Tougher Roval Course Layout

At 17 turns and 2.28 miles, Charlotte Motor Speedway's revolutionary Roval course layout will thrill fans when the Sept. 28-30 Bank of America 500 race weekend roars to life. Drivers and teams will be tasked with overcoming the literal and figurative highs and lows of the Roval course as they pursue a monumental victory in the first road course race in NASCAR's playoff history.

The Bank of America 500 will see drivers competing on a faster infield layout that features a daunting, 35-foot elevation change from the course's lowest point – Roval Turn 4 – to its highest, Roval Turn 9. Speedway officials have reconfigured Turn 8 to create a straighter exit from the infield onto Charlotte's iconic 1.5-mile oval. The course enhancement will provide more passing opportunities, a welcome sight for teams looking to advance in the NASCAR Playoffs while entering the record books as the first winners in Charlotte Roval history. The innovative Roval layout also features frontstretch and backstretch chicanes for drivers to navigate, further bolstering the Roval's unsurpassed spectacle of speed, strategy and playoff drama.
