The 2018 Bank of America Roval 400 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race that was held on September 30, 2018, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.

The course is 2.28 miles (3.67 km) in length and features 17 turns, utilizing the infield road course and portions of the oval track.

[12][13][14] During July 2018 tests on the road course, concerns were raised over drivers "cheating" designated chicanes on the course.

[15][16] Kyle Busch was the fastest in the first practice session with a time of 77.145 seconds and a speed of 106.397 mph (171.229 km/h).

[19] Brad Keselowski was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 77.730 seconds and a speed of 105.596 mph (169.940 km/h).

The first caution flew on lap 14 when Stanton Barrett went into turn 1 too fast and hit the tire barriers.

Some drivers pitted while others stayed out during the caution period and Kyle Larson was new leader and he led the field to the restart on lap 55.

On lap 59, the fourth caution flew for debris when Austin Dillon hit the wall in turn 14.

But on the restart, chaos ensued into the first turn that triggered a big wreck collecting 14 cars bringing out the 8th and final caution of the race.

Leader Brad Keselowski went into turn 1 too fast and ended up locking the left front and hit the wall.

Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, Paul Menard, Ryan Blaney, and William Byron ended up following Keselowski into the barriers while Daniel Hemric ended up spinning after contact by Busch and Trevor Bayne and collected Ty Dillon, Aric Almirola, Bubba Wallace, Michael McDowell, Ryan Newman, and Ross Chastain.

Soon, Almirola was up to 21st with 2 laps to go and needed to pass two more cars being Daniel Suárez and Ty Dillon.

Coming towards the last three turns, Johnson looked to Truex's left side and ended up sliding out a bit in the process.

Rick Allen, Jeff Burton, Steve Letarte and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the call in the booth for the race.

Dave Burns, Marty Snider and Kelli Stavast reported from pit lane during the race.
