qglover+FollowCharlotte’s Roval out for NASCAR 2026 playoffsNASCAR is shaking things up in Charlotte—starting in 2026, the Cup Series playoffs will ditch the Roval road course and return to the classic oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Roval brought wild moments and divided opinions since 2018, but with more road courses now on the schedule and the Next Gen car thriving on ovals, the shift feels like a nod to tradition.

The Bulls and Ford came out swinging in Barcelona, with rookie Isack Hadjar putting the new power unit on top of the timesheets.

Now, with racing on the oval heating up again, NASCAR insiders say an official announcement is coming soon. Would you rather see the high-speed oval action or keep the Roval’s road course challenge?
