What time does the NASCAR race start today?
The NASCAR Cup Series is trimming the fat off its playoff roster. And with an appearance in the vaunted Round of 8 on the line, everyone is putting their pedal to the metal.
LIVE: Updates, highlights from NASCAR Bank of America Roval 400
There’s one problem, though: that strategy doesn’t really fly at the Roval, the site of the final race in the Round of 12.
Charlotte Motor Speedway’s alternate course is a fickle dance partner. It’s draped in color, with red and cream patterns lining the track’s surface. But it’s hard to maneuver along that peppermint-tinted asphalt; there isn’t much space and with 12 turns, any sudden movement could result in a pileup.
The final road course of the Cup Series calendar figures to present numerous obstacles to those who maraud within its hallowed walls. And for that, we’re grateful.
