NASCAR Race Today: Charlotte Roval start time, TV channel, live stream and lineup

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs hit the Charlotte Roval today - Sunday, October 5 - and we've got all of the details you need to know ahead of the action.

The Bank of America ROVAL 400 will see the Cup Series stars complete 109 laps around the 2.32 mile road course, with the playoff stakes increasing race by race.

Chase Elliott locked himself into the Round of 8 last weekend with a dramatic win, after Denny Hamlin and his damaged power steering knocked Bubba Wallace out of the lead in overtime.

After a close-fought qualifying session, Tyler Reddick will start Sunday's race from pole position as he looks to salvage his playoff hopes. The 23XI star set the fastest time of all 37 drivers with a blistering lap, enough to beat road course specialist Shane van Gisbergen, who looked set to take the session until Reddick's run.

Reddick is very much on the outside looking in coming into Sunday's elimination race, sitting 29 points below the cut line and 11th of 12 remaining postseason drivers – but even a Stage 1 victory could slash that gap to a manageable margin.
