The next NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway is the Bank of America 400 on Sunday, October 11, 2026, and the next Coca-Cola 600 is on Sunday, May 30, 2027. No odds are quoted here for either race yet; Daniel Suarez won the 2026 Coca-Cola 600.
The next Charlotte races
- Bank of America 400: Sunday, October 11, 2026, 3 p.m. ET, 267 laps and 400.5 miles on the 1.5-mile oval
- Coca-Cola 600: Sunday, May 30, 2027, 400 laps and 600 miles on the same oval
- Bank of America 400, 2027: Sunday, October 17, 2027
The October race is back on the oval this year. From 2023 to 2025 the fall Charlotte race was run on the road course, where AJ Allmendinger won in 2023, Kyle Larson in 2024 and Shane van Gisbergen in 2025. None of the last three fall races there used the oval, so the May race is the closest guide.

Betting NASCAR at Charlotte
A race-winner price is a chance written as a payout. +500 implies 16.7%, +1000 implies 9.1% and +2500 implies 3.8%. Even at +500 a driver is priced to lose five times in six, so a bet is worth making only when you rate a driver’s chance higher than the price does. Top-5, top-10 and head-to-head matchups are the other markets, and they reward a driver who runs near the front without needing the win.
Tyler Reddick has won five races this season, the most in the series, including the Daytona 500.
