The Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina combines the legendary 1.5-mile superspeedway's high-speed banking with purpose-built infield road course sections, creating a unique hybrid layout. The Roval designation reflects this road course-oval combination that debuted in 2018 for NASCAR's Charlotte race weekend. This configuration transforms Charlotte from pure oval to combined-discipline facility, creating unique challenges where drivers transition between technical infield sections and 200+ mph banked corners.

Operating the Roval showcases Charlotte's evolution and versatility where traditional oval infrastructure combines with modern road racing elements serving NASCAR's push for varied track types. The dramatic transitions between slow infield technical sections and extreme-speed banking create unique setup challenges. North Carolina's climate creates year-round racing potential. The Roval configuration demonstrates Charlotte's willingness to innovate at this premier NASCAR venue, creating a controversial but distinctive layout that divides opinion while generating unique racing spectacle.
