NASCAR at Charlotte playoff race 2022: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Bank of America ROVAL 400

It's time for another elimination race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, and Sunday's installment will come on perhaps the most unique track on the circuit — the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval.

Part road course and part oval, the Roval configuration made its debut four years ago. It was the elimination race in the first round of the playoffs in 2018 and 2019 before shifting in 2020 to the Round of 12 elimination race.

Ryan Blaney won the first installment in 2018, Chase Elliott won consecutive races the next two seasons, and Kyle Larson won last year's race on the Roval. All three drivers are in the Round of 12 this year, and Elliott already clinched a berth in the Round of 8 with his victory at Talladega last weekend.

Ryan Blaney (12) leads the field on a re-start during the 2021 Bank of America Roval 400 on the road course at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
