The NASCAR Cup Series fall race at Charlotte Motor Speedway returns to the 1.5-mile oval for the first time since 2017.
Along with the pivot from the road-course/oval combination of the Roval comes a familiar, proven tire compound from Goodyear Racing on the intermediate oval.

Sunday's Bank of America 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA Network, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) will feature the same Goodyear Racing Eagle rubber that has been used in each of the last two races, at Kansas Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway, respectively, as the Cup Series charges into the second half of The Chase presented by Mobil 1. This tire setup was also featured in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte in May.
"After two weeks of running these tires at similar intermediate tracks, Cup Series teams come to Charlotte on a very familiar Goodyear Racing Eagle package," Rick Heinrich, Goodyear NASCAR product manager, said in a release. "We now enter the final stretch of the season, with all three national series racing every weekend. With everything on the line in the run up to the Championship Weekend, our job is to give teams tire setups that deliver the performance and reliability they need while contributing to exciting racing."
The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series also return to action this weekend, with trucks slated for a Friday feature (5 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX One, NASCAR Racing Network Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) and O'Reilly cars hitting the track Saturday (4 p.m. ET, The CW, ESPN Unlimited, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). Both series will utilize the same tire setups used in their Memorial Day Weekend events as well.
