    THE CHARLOTTE ROVAL (Xfinity/Cup)---

    Alright guys we are headed for the last Road Course of the season this weekend for the ROVAL playoff race. The Xfinity and Cup series will be racing. The Truck series has the next 2 weeks off. This is also the Cutoff race for the 2nd round of the playoffs and we will be trimmed to 8 drivers after this one. The TV schedule kicks off early Saturday afternoon @ 3pm and will air on the main NBC channel. The Cup series race will be Sunday afternoon @ 2:30pm and will also air on main NBC.

    Not the best RC by any means, but for whatever reason this race is usually a wild one. Should be a fun watch. Hopefully we can keep picking up Ws and stacking on the final stretch of the season. Good Luck!!!

    if anyone is interested: as stage breaks are back, I had a look at last year's race again in regards to who stayed out for points and who didn't - with the result that basically every playoff driver did, apart from those secure (Elliott), in a must win situation (Bell), or miles behind anyway (Chastain St. 1, Hamlin St. 2):



    Passing was super difficult, and none of those who stayed out managed to move back up in the Top 10 until the late caution.

    Tactics may change this year, of course, but currently I'd tend to stay away from betting any of those guys facing the same dilemma, I guess.

    Good information. Looks like this makes Byron, Elliot, Allmendinger, and McDowell a bit more attractive compared to those still in the playoffs. Hamlin is sitting pretty good so he could possibly stay out for Stage 1 and pit before Stage 2.

    Also note that the restart zone will be in the middle of the chicanes on the front stretch this year: https://x.com/bobpockrass/status/170...181267598?s=20

    In previous years they didn't go through the chicane on the restarts. Will probably create some additional chaos.

    The #9 is still in the running for the owners' championship, but no idea if they'd consider that important enough to ruin his race.

    Looks like 40% chance of rain in Charlotte on Saturday morning that could affect Xfinity qualifying. Rest of the weekend looks good. No rain in the forecast for F1 in Doha (obviously) but they are forecasting 20+ mph winds on Friday and Saturday.

    Does anyone like this track?

    Idea is good, road course inside a stadium to see it all from every seat. But seems like an awful fail of a circuit design.

    I don’t have much of an opinion either way, I’ve never really considered what design elements make a road course better or worse. I guess with a roval you can’t have any significant change in elevation or have long sweeping turns. Might also be limited on width of the track compared to true road courses.

    Blaney +2800

    DK and BR/Kambi had him at +2800 until Circa hung his line at +1700 this morning. FD still has him at +2800. Nothing to lose strategywise since he’s locked in to the next round and he has 3 top 10s in his four starts here including one win.

    edit: 4 top 10s in five races. I’ve been drinking

    I don't like it at all. Especially being its a playoff race and Cutoff for the round. No way this track belongs in the playoffs. Only good thing is they have tended to be a little crazy and wild and not boring.

    Agree. Have it as a reg season anomaly if they want, but making it a chase race is anti-sporting and obviously for track owner greed

    Haven't decided anything yet for Xfinity tomorrow will decide in morning.

    My only early bets for Cup are The Dinger and Cesears boost for Max/Larson. Still debating if will add something else b4 odds go down for Sessions.

    Guess I'm tailing the guys on JHN. Will play just 1 more prob. Won't even be parlaying either fav at those odds for X. Think both are really bad low.

    Starting a lotto ticket prop parlay with Hemric Top 5, just deciding what I'm playing with it. I didnt like any H2Hs for side fun.

    Any idea how good is Boris Said? The #17 has been a really strong car this year when Hendrick lined it up, but backing an old fart who has been out of the series for years... not too tempting at those odds, tbh.

    Don't waste ur money betting Boris Said

    Was as big a waste of $ 15 years ago as it will be today. He's NEVER had success in NASCAR.

    All I remember about him was seeing all the idiots in the stands wearing wigs at the 2 RCs like his. LOL

    Seems like a solid bud smoker though so he's OK by me

    Couldn't do it when he was still young enough 10 to 15 years ago.

    Could not seeing him do it even driving max's Red Bull against this field.

    in the end Said didn't even qualify. Was surprised to see him down at @16 or so, but seems like this wasn't really justified then

    Max/Lando/Oscar boxed Sprint/Chevy Cup/Payne Top 10 Bathurst 1000 +1040
    Bottas/Hulk/Sainz F1 Groups +362
    Sprint Fastest Laps Lewis +1200 and Perez +1000


    Only have JHN for Xfinity so far but might cash that out with him starting at rear now.



    23XI looking way dominant in Cup Practice and Quali so far. Gaping field by miles.

    Custer (+525)
    Hemric (+2500)


    Hemric Top 5 (+450) parlay With Cindric Cup prop



    That's it for Xfinity today. Didn't like very much but figure 1 of those 3 favs will probably win it. Really ready for Cup tomorrow. Won't live bet this no matter what happens. Hopefully some of us can get lucky. Good Luck!

    It's a little bit better design with the changes this year. But they really made it boring taking out the "terrible bits" where the wrecks used to happen

    Reddick, Larson, and The Dinger are my plays for the win.

    Might play a prop if I find one later.
