Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series #NASCAR Races At Charlotte

Round Of Twelve Begins

 

Round Of Twelve Begins At Charlotte #NASCAR
 

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Next Race: Bank of America 500
The Place: Charlotte Motor Speedway
The Date: Sunday, Oct. 9
The Time: Noon ET
Distance: 501 miles (334 laps)

The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Round of Twelve kicks off Sunday at noon after Saturday’s Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway was postponed to noon today.

The drivers, who advanced following last Sunday’s race at Dover were Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Austin Dillon.

All advancing drivers have had their points reset to 3,000. Any Chase-eligible driver who wins one of the three Round of 12 races – Charlotte, Kansas or Talladega – automatically advances to the Round of 8.

Tony Stewart, Kyle Larson, Chris Buescher and Jamie McMurray were all eliminated from the Chase after Dover.

Joey Logano won last year’s Charlotte Chase race, which also took place during the daytime on Sunday due to rain. Kevin Harvick won the Charlotte fall race the last time it was held at night.

The Place: Charlotte Motor Speedway
The Date: Sunday, Oct. 9
The Time: 8 p.m. ET
Distance: 300 miles (200 laps)


Xfinity Notes: In the inaugural elimination-style NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase the ultimate prize in each round is to win and advance to the next round to have a shot at the title in Miami. 

That means former winners Daniel Suarez (Dover) and Elliott Sadler (Kentucky) are the only two drivers in the Chase Round of Twelve who have the luxury of rolling into Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend with few apprehensions about their Chase implications. 

Today’s race is the last chance for the other Chase contenders without wins to lock themselves into the Round of eight.
