Ryan Blaney won YellaWood 500 pushing him up in the standings from 11th place to 4th place with 3078 points. Willian Byron and Denny Hamlin who are still leading in the standings as first and second respectively came in second and third at the race.

Unlike the last race, qualifying is back. No past-performance-based starting. That means more racing to watch. But it also means we have to wait until Saturday to know the starting lineup.

2023 Bank of America ROVAL 400 TV Schedule

The Bank of America Roval 400 is an annual NASCAR Cup Series race held at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, USA. It takes place on the infield road course known as “The Roval.” Previously, the race used to be a 500-mile oval event, but now it is a 400-kilometer road course race.

In 2020, the Bank of America Roval 400 was rescheduled from late September to mid-October and became the final race of the Round of 12, replacing the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Despite the presence of rain, both the 2020 races, including the Xfinity race, were completed without any delays, even in wet conditions with limited lighting.
