The NASCAR Cup Series playoff Round of 12 concludes Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in what could be an elimination race unlike anything seen before.
The ROVAL course, introduced in 2018, already comes with increased risk of wrecks. With the directive to drive through rain for the Bank of America ROVAL 400, cautions could become even more frequent.
Alex Bowman and Joey Logano are just above the cut line and hoping none of the four competitors below that mark speed to an unexpected win.

NASCAR start time today
The Round of 12 NASCAR playoff race at Charlotte on Sunday should begin soon after 2:30 p.m. ET. The temperature is supposed to be in the high-70s, and rain and lightning are considered likely. Charlotte Motor Speedway does have lights, but because of concerns about the infield brightness, a night race is not considered feasible.
