2025 Bank of America Roval 400

The 2025 Bank of America Roval 400 was a NASCAR Cup Series race that was held on October 5, 2025, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway infield road course in Concord, North Carolina. Contested over 109 laps on the 2.32-mile (3.73 km) road course, it was the 32nd race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, the sixth race of the Playoffs, and the final race of the Round of 12.

Shane van Gisbergen won the race. Kyle Larson finished 2nd, and Christopher Bell finished 3rd. Chris Buescher and Michael McDowell rounded out the top five, and Ryan Preece, Daniel Suárez, Chase Elliott, A. J. Allmendinger, and Tyler Reddick rounded out the top ten.

Following the race, Ross Chastain, Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, and Austin Cindric were all eliminated from the playoffs.

Since 2018, deviating from past NASCAR events at Charlotte, the race will utilize a road course configuration of Charlotte Motor Speedway, promoted and trademarked as the "Roval". The course is 2.28 miles (3.67 km) in length and features 17 turns, utilizing the infield road course and portions of the oval track. The race will be contested over a scheduled distance of 109 laps, 400 kilometres (250 mi).^[7][8][9]

During July 2018 tests on the road course, concerns were raised over drivers "cheating" the backstretch chicane on the course. The chicanes were modified with additional tire barriers and rumble strips in order to encourage drivers to properly drive through them, and NASCAR will enforce drive-through penalties on drivers who illegally "short-cut" parts of the course. The chicanes will not be used during restarts. In the summer of 2019, the bus stop on the backstretch was changed and deepened, becoming a permanent part of the circuit, compared to the previous year where it was improvised.

If a driver fails to legally make the backstretch bus stop, the driver must skip the frontstretch chicane and make a complete stop by the dotted line on the exit before being allowed to continue. A driver who misses the frontstretch chicane must stop before the exit. ^[10][11]

On May 26, 2024, it was announced that the Charlotte Roval would get a redesign, featuring an updated infield road course which includes an extension of the straightaway after turn 5, a new turn 6, and a sharper hairpin for turn 7, in addition the apex for turn 16 on the final chicane was made tighter.^[12]
