The Bank of America Roval 400 weekend in 2025 is going to be one of the more dramatic events of the NASCAR season. Oct. 3- Oct. 5, fans will be a part of a historical week experience, with all three series, NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Truck Series, making their first attempt ever on the 2.28-mile hybrid road course-oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This three-day weekend is not simply a spectacle; it has huge stakes in the playoffs in all three series.
Both the Cup and Xfinity Series are confronted by their Round of 12 and have had the number of in their playoffs reduced to four. Meanwhile, the Truck Series enters its Round of 8 and opens its semifinal phase on one of the tamest tracks of NASCAR, per NASCAR.com.
Combining the elements of high-speed ovalized loops, technical road-course elements, and the capability of utter disarray over every chicane, the Charlotte Roval has gained a reputation as a venue where any occurrence is possible.
The following is a closer analysis of the timeline, television attendance, and the weather outlook of the weekend in Concord, North Carolina.
Friday, October 3 — NASCAR Truck Series
The action kicks off with the Camping World NASCAR Truck Series as drivers make their debut on the Roval in the EcoSave 250.
Practice: 11:05–11:55 a.m. (FS2)
Qualifying: 12:10-1:00 p.m. (FS2)
Race: 3:30 p.m., 67 laps (152.76 miles), which concludes with a lap of 20 and 40.
TV: FS1, HBO Max; Radio on MRN and on SiriusXM Ch. 90.
It is the beginning of the Round of 8, and it sets the tone regarding the ability of Truck Series drivers to perform under pressure.
Weather: Starting with mostly sunny to partly cloudy weather, and temperatures of 76°F through the day and 54°F at night. The chances of an isolated shower early are only 20% likelihood, but the clearance of the skies by the time the race finishes is probable.
Saturday, October 4- NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Saturday is part of the NASCAR Xfinity Series because the Drive for the Cure 250 is among the Round of 12 elimination events.
Practice: 11:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m. (CW App)
Qualifying: 12:40-1:30 p.m. (CW App)
Race: 5:00 p.m., 67 laps (152.76 miles), stages at laps 20 and 40.

This night race will utilize tent lights on the infield, and it will be lighted at 7:02 p.m. when the sun sets. The scene is also prepared for battle as four playoff participants will have their dream of winning the championship end.
Weather: Partly cloudy and no rain is predicted with highs of up to 76°F. The treatment should be light, and the winds should be 6-10 mph south, and it has to be good to race.
Sunday, October 5 – NASCAR Cup Series
The Bank of America Roval 400, the final round of 12 in the NASCAR Cup Series, is broadcast at the end of the weekend.
Practice: 2:05-2:55 p.m. (HBO Max, USA Network)

Race: 3:00 p.m. 109 laps (248.52 miles), stages at laps 25 and 50.

Returning driver, which interestingly is the winner Chase Elliott and one of the main action and most likely drama makers, is the defender, the winner, Larry Larson, yet with four contenders in the playoffs, virtually anything can happen.
Weather: Predominantly gloomy feature with high temperatures reaching up to 78°F and lows reaching up to 56°F. There is only a 10 percent possibility that shapes in the shape of a passing shower would transpire, making it likely that the weather will remain dry during the time of the race.
Outlook
The Charlotte Roval promises to provide one of the most unpredictable and exciting weekends of the year with a packed schedule, mild weather conditions, and three playoff races ahead. To viewers in the grandstands or watching via FS1, CW, USA Network, or on HBO Max, this triple battle won’t lack in any drama, strategy, or high-stakes racing.
