NASCAR at Charlotte October 2026: Odds and more info

NASCAR heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway for a race weekend featuring all three national touring series, highlighted by the Cup Series' Bank of America 400 on Sunday, October 11. For the first time since 2017, the playoff race returns to the traditional 1.5-mile oval layout rather than the road course. Denny Hamlin enters the weekend as the betting favorite at +425, followed closely by Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson at +450.

The 267-lap Cup Series event features 39 entries, meaning every driver will qualify for the race.
