The NASCAR Cup Series hits the Charlotte Roval today (Saturday, October 4) for qualifying, and we've got all of the details you need.
Today's qualifying session at the tricky road course will determine the starting lineup for Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400, the elimination race of the playoffs Round of 12.
In last season's race at the Roval, it was road course master Shane van Gisbergen – still driving as a part-time entry – who took pole, edging out Tyler Reddick and AJ Allmendinger to have his pick of starting spots.
It was Kyle Larson who took the win that day, leading an all-playoff top five ahead of Christopher Bell, William Byron, Austin Cindric, and Chase Elliott. The real drama came after the race though, with Joey Logano initially being eliminated from post-season contention before Alex Bowman's car failed post-race tech, giving the Team Penske star a reprieve which he would eventually parley into the title.
We certainly cannot wait to see how the action unfolds this afternoon and who comes out on top heading into Sunday's race.
Cup Series qualifying at Charlotte is scheduled to start at 3:10pm ET on Saturday, October 4, with practice taking place directly before at 2pm ET.
The start time for qualifying converted to local time zones is as follows:
