CONCORD, NC (Oct. 7, 2024) – This year’s Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway is set to deliver thrills like never before with exciting new features on and off the track.

From track upgrades to fan-favorite traditions, here’s what makes this race weekend a can’t-miss event – by the numbers:
5 million: Presented by GoVision, the brand-new 5,516,800 pixelated backstretch video board will make its debut this weekend. Fans will witness every moment in stunning detail, 700 times brighter than a standard LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. Get ready to catch every heart-stopping pass, pit stop and more on the improved Speedway TV.
23,000: The new Turn 6 and 7 ROVAL™ renovations include over 23,000 square feet of the cement-stabilized base, with 1,000 cubic yards of dirt and 600 tons of dirt placed beneath the track. These sharp new crowd-facing turns were designed to push drivers to their limits and deliver edge-of-you-seat excitement for fans.
2,000: Kicking off the weekend, more than 2,000 students from across the region will converge in the Charlotte Motor Speedway Fan Zone from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a hands-on look at how Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) power motorsports. With interactive science experiments through BASF and over 50 additional educational booths, the STEAM Expo is a pit-stop for students on the fast track to learning.
1,197: Crafting the massive backstretch video board involved placing 1,197 new panels – equal to the weight of 16 elephants or 450 of your favorite NASCAR drivers.
400: Buckle up for 400 miles of high-speed, adrenaline-pumping racing through three thrilling stages. The seventh-running Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 will push drivers as they tackle the renovated 17-turn road course, creating new fan-favorite moments through each mile.
77: Towering over 77 feet tall and stretching 200 feet wide, the new larger-than-life screen ensures fans across the speedway feel like they’re part of the action no matter where they’re searing.

35: Drivers will face the full challenge of 35-degree banking as they maneuver the 17-turn road course’s most daring turns pushing their cars and skills to the limit in a bid to advance to the coveted NASCAR Round of 8.
15: The new GoVision-powered video board makes its mark at Charlotte Motor Speedway as one of the largest LED displays in the world coming in at No. 15 in the United States and No. 17 in the Western Hemisphere creating a true experience for fans from every angle.
14: Racing fans from 14 countries will gather at Charlotte Motor Speedway, proving that NASCAR knows no borders. Residents from Brazil to New Zealand will be at the track to watch one of the most unique tracks in motorsports.
8: The stakes are always high at the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 as only eight NASCAR Playoff drivers will advance after the hair-rising Round of 12 cut-off race. Who’s in? Who’s out? This decision will be made after 400 miles of sharp turns and crazy passes.
