The Bank of America Roval 400 is aNASCAR Cup Series race that is held annually atCharlotte Motor Speedway inConcord, North Carolina,United States, it is one of two races held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with the other one being the 600-mile (970 km)Coca-Cola 600 onMemorial Day weekend.

The event has been run as a 400 kilometer (248.5 mi) race using the infieldroad course configuration the track calls "The Roval" due to the combination of the Road Course and Oval. Reconfigurations to theRoval layout for the 2024 season onwards increased the length of the race to 407 kilometers (252.9 mi) while the lap count remained the same at 109. Previously,the race was run at a distance of 500 miles using the regular oval.

Shane van Gisbergen is the defending winner of the event.

The fall Charlotte race was originally held on the main oval layout until 2017, in which it was a Saturday night race from 2003 to 2016 following a rating boost from the2002 race being delayed to later in the night (coincided with television primetime hours), although the final two races were held on Sunday afternoon due to rain delays. The 2017 race, the final race on the oval layout, reverted to a Sunday daytime race.

Starting in 2018, the race utilizes a 2.28 miles (3.67 km) road course configuration of Charlotte Motor Speedway, with a race distance of 400 kilometers (250 mi) over 109 laps.^[1][2][3]Ryan Blaney would win theinaugural Roval Cup race afterMartin Truex Jr. andJimmie Johnson collided on the final lap.^[4]

In 2020, the Bank of America Roval 400 was moved from late September to the middle of October and beheld as the final race of the Round of 12; theBass Pro Shops NRA Night Race atBristol Motor Speedway took Charlotte's former spot. Although rain was present, the 2020 races were run without any delays as cars continued in the wet with limited lighting, as was the case in the Xfinity race, making it the first NASCAR Cup race to use wet tires.^[5]

On May 26, 2024, it was announced on the day of theCoca-Cola 600 that the Roval version would be getting an update.^[6]

• 2022: Race extended due to aNASCAR Overtime finish.

• 2018: After a late-race caution of the inaugural Roval event,Jimmie Johnson made gains onMartin Truex Jr. in the final two laps. Coming to the final chicane on the final lap, Johnson tries to pass Truex Jr. but he lost control of his car, sending it spinning into the chicane and taking out Truex Jr. With both of them taken out,Ryan Blaney overtakes both Johnson and Truex Jr. coming out of the final chicane to earn his first win of the season with a last-lap pass. With Johnson spinning out and finishing 8th, that put him,Kyle Larson, andAric Almirola in a three-way tie for the cut-line position in the first round of the Playoffs. As most of the field crosses the line,Daniel Hemric spunJeffrey Earnhardt exiting the final chicane, with Jeffrey's car ended up hitting the outside wall. He corrected his car but ended up stalling mere meters before the finish line, enabling Larson to pass him in a badly damaged car and give Larson the extra point he needed to bump Johnson out of the Playoffs.
• 2019:Chase Elliott returned from locking up his brakes and colliding head-on with the turn 1 barrier to win his second road course win of the year.
• 2020: For the first time in NASCAR Cup Series history, the Cup cars raced in the rain when they declared a wet start for the green flag. Forecast to be a rainy day, the sun came out and remained mostly cloudy, defying the forecast. At the end of Stage 1, drivers decided to forego the treaded tires for the traditional slicks for the rest of the event.Chase Elliott, the defending race winner came down pit road for a loose left front wheel. Just like last year he made his way to the front and pulled away on his way to the win. The win gave him the distinction of just the second driver to win four-straight road-course events with the other beingJeff Gordon. Multiple drivers adjusting to slicks on the damp surface created unpredictable outcomes with cars slipping off track, kicking up grass and spray from standing water.
