NASCAR Preview: Bank of America Roval 400

Hello, Chabdog racing fans, and welcome to the Charlotte Motor Speedway…road course edition!  Yes, today we find ourselves on a 17-turn road course with some really cool viewing areas and a pedestrian bridge I wouldn’t mind finding myself on watching all the action.  Today is an important race for the 12 remaining NASCAR playoff drivers as four of them will be cut today.  You heard that right, we’re going to slice four of them off with the 8 remaining battling it out in Las Vegas starting next week.  Below is a preview of today’s road course:

Qualifying is done for today’s race, and I’ve posted the Top 10 drivers as shown below:

However, we’re not done yet folks as we’re also in NASCAR playoff season! Fortunately, those, “on the bubble” (9, 10, 11 & 12),  still have a chance in this road course to come out on top for next week’s race. Currently, William Byron and Ryan Blaney have secured a spot for winning prior playoff races with 4 bubble drivers doing anything and everything to win this race to clinch a spot for next week. However, I also expect a lot of competition coming from Kyle Larson (7) and Brad Keselowski (8) since they’ll need to put in a good fight to ensure they see any more playoff action next week.  So let’s see how we currently stand below:

Every week the Chabdog Sports Team makes on-air picks on the show for the upcoming NASCAR race and earns points based on the following criteria:

: Anyone who picks the winning driver gets 3 points.

: Anyone who picks the 2nd place driver gets 2 points.

: Anyone who picks the 3rd place driver gets 1 point.

Lastly, if no one picks a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place driver then 1 point is awarded to the picked driver that is closest to the podium. Therefore, in our fantasy game, someone from the team always walks away with a point.

This week’s “chalk pick” is Tyler Reddick.
