Van Gisbergen Wins Roval; Four Drivers Eliminated

Shane van Gisbergen won the Bank of America Roval 400 at Charlotte, leading the most laps and claiming his fifth consecutive road-course victory as the Round of 12 was cut to eight drivers. Ross Chastain, Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Austin Cindric were eliminated from the playoffs after a tense, error-filled race. Chastain made several costly mistakes — a missed pit-exit turn, a speeding penalty and a final‑lap missed corner — that left him 21st and out of contention. Reddick, who had won the pole, finished 10th and said he couldn’t identify anything specific that cost him advancement. Kyle Larson finished second, while Kyle Busch crashed early, returned many laps down and finished far back. The race featured widespread late-race drama captured in video and driver audio, underscoring the Roval’s reputation as a choppy, high-stakes playoff venue.
