NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Cut the Field at Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval Course

The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs have been in full effect over the last month, but Sunday’s big race at the Charlotte Oval Road Course (Roval) will knock a few drivers off the pace. The field of 12 gets cut to eight, and we’ll be full speed ahead with four more races to determine the champ. It’s the Bank of America Roval 400 to send four drivers packing. Let’s see where they stand before the exciting final month of racing.
