NASCAR Xfinity Series Qualifying Today: Charlotte Roval start time, schedule, TV channel and FREE live stream

The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series hits the Charlotte Roval today - Saturday, October 4 - for qualifying.

Today's qualifying session will determine the starting lineup for Saturday evening's Xfinity Series race, known as the Blue Cross NC 250, the third playoff race of the 2025 season.

Brandon Jones took a second win of the season last weekend at Kansas to lock himself into the playoff Round of 8, with the unpredictable Roval the last chance for any struggling drivers to win-and-in.

Three of the eight drivers – Jones, Connor Zilisch and Justin Allgaier – are already locked in through wins or points, with Sam Mayer looking safe but every other driver from Taylor Gray in fifth down to Sammy Smith in 12th separated by just 25 points total.

That close points gap will be a relief to most of the stragglers, as the bookies don't fancy their chances of taking a crucial win on Saturday evening. Zilisch's odds for the race are at -165, meaning that he's seen as more likely to win the race than not, setting him up as an even more stark favorite than road course wizard Shane van Gisbergen is in the Cup Series race.
