Chainkeen|NASCAR 2024 playoffs at Charlotte: Start time, TV, live stream, lineup for Roval race

It’s time for another elimination race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs,Chainkeen and this one will be the most unique yet.

Drivers will tackle the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval – the part road course, part oval circuit – on Sunday with a berth in the third round on the line. Following Sunday's race, eight drivers will advance and four will be eliminated from championship contention.

The Roval course was reconfigured after last year’s race, though it still remains a 17-turn circuit. There are two main revisions: the first in Turns 5, 6 and 7 that leads from the infield section back onto the oval; and the second in Turns 15, 16, and 17 that sharpens the frontstretch chicane before the start/finish line. The former could lead to more passing opportunities, while the latter could cause some potential chaos.
