2024 Bank of America ROVAL 400: What you need to know
- AJ Allmendinger took checkers last season in the ROVAL race, giving Chevrolet its 4th win in the past 5 starts at the track
- Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell, currently 2nd in the playoff standings, won on the ROVAL in 2022, the only time a Toyota has been to Victory Lane in the 6 ROVAL 400 races
- Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney, 6th in the playoff standings, won the initial ROVAL race back on Sept. 30, 2018. That’s the only time Ford has won on the ROVAL
- In 6 Sprint Cup races on the ROVAL, the winner has come from a starting spot of 10th or higher on 5 occasions. The pole-sitter has never taken checkers, however
- Kaulig Racing driver Shane Van Gisbergen is on the pole for Sunday’s Cup Series race. He was also on the pole for Saturday’s Xfinity Series race
- 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick, 7th in the playoff standings, will go off from the 2nd spot next to the pole-sitter Van Gisbergen. In 4 ROVAL Cup Series starts, he has a 7.0 Average-Finish Position (AFP)
- Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott is the only 2-time winner on the ROVAL, posting an 8.2 AFP with a circuit-best 109 laps led. He goes off from the lucky 7th spot on Sunday
- Standings leader William Byron starts from the 10th position. He has started all 6 ROVAL Cup races, posting a 12.5 AFP with 80 laps led and 1 DNF

Bank of America ROVAL 400 – Expert pick
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NASCAR odds. Lines last updated at 2:18 a.m. ET.
CHASE ELLIOTT (+1200) is a value play at this price as you’ll multiply your wager by 12. That’s a great return on a guy who has won one-third of the 6 NASCAR Cup Series races on the ROVAL.
Elliott flamed out at Talladega last week, finishing 29th, dropping him to 8th in the playoff standings. He is just 13 points above the cut line, ahead of Team Penske’s Joey Logano.
Elliott needs a strong run on the ROVAL, and he should get it to not only stay in the playoffs, but perhaps grab checkers for a record 3rd time at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.
Bank of America ROVAL 400 – Contender
CHRISTOPHER BELL (+1400) is a solid value at this price point. He won the 2022 installment, and in 4 career Cup Series ROVAL starts, he has 2 top-10 finishes, a 12.0 AFP, 17 laps led and a 90.5 Average Driver Rating.
Bell goes off from the 12th starting position Sunday, so that’s a bit of a drawback. We’ve only had 1 driver, Elliott on Sept. 29, 2019, start from 11th or higher while picking up checkers.
