Four drivers will be chopped from Playoff competition after Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway which will leave us with eight drivers remaining eligible to win the 2020 NASCAR Cup Championship.
Who will those four drivers be?
And who will win on the 2.28-mile, 17-turn mashup-up layout that features the high banks on the oval with the flat infield course that requires drivers to make both left and right turns?

It’s not hard to handicap a race when Chase Elliott has won the last three road course races and four overall. It hasn’t mattered whether it’s a traditional road course like Watkins Glen or the mash-up courses at Daytona and Charlotte, he’s had the best set-up and took the checkers. The Daytona road course made it’s NASCAR debut in August and Elliott led a race-high 34 of the 65 laps.
“I don’t know why the road courses have been good to us thus far,” Elliott said. “I came from short-track racing. I did a little bit of road-course racing in go-karts, but I don’t know how much that translates. Most of my years coming along were short tracks around the country, asphalt racing -- very different from road-course racing. I do think a lot of the credit should go to Jeff (Gordon). Jeff was a fantastic road racer, as we all know. I really think he and Alan (crew chief Gustafson) had a very good understanding of what was important at road races and what they really wanted in the cars and what mattered.”
The Gustafson angle could be the main reason and the success Elliott has had has been transferred over to the rest of Hendrick Motorsports drivers as all four finished 12th or better in the August Daytona road race.
