The Charlotte Roval is the scene of the first Cup elimination race. Four drivers will be knocked out of the playoffs. Right now the 4 bubble drivers are Bowman, Bowyer, Big Bro and Jones. Can one of the 4 pull off a win on the Roval or score enough points to remain in the playoffs? Will Martin Truex sweep the the Round of 16? These questions will be answered on Sunday on NBC - Play the Peacock sound.
X-Men are also on tap. This is the middle playoff race and next week at Dover the cutting begins.
Charlotte weather looks good with the slightest chance of precip. I am not a forecaster!

News and Notes
- There is a proposal to eliminate pit stops from teams. Nascar says it will hurt the business model. Nascar needs no help to hurt their business model. They are doing fine all by themselves.
- Silly Season update - Ricky Stenhouse is out of the #17 at the end of the year to be replaced by Chris Buescher. Tyler Reddick was also under consideration, but Buescher gets it.
- 2020 Cup start times and TV coverage has been announced. on the Fox chunk of the schedule 9 races will be on Fox and 7 on FS1. On the NBC side, 7 will on NBC and 13 on NBCSN.
- Notable schedule previously announced - Pocono doubleheader on June 27th and 28th. The championship race at Homestead is gone, replaced by ISM in Phoenix. Homestead will be in March.
- After Homestead the Monster Energy Nascar Cup Series, MENCS, disappears. It joins the ranks of Winston, Sprint and Nextel as simply names in the wind as Cup series sponsors. Monster low-balled Nascar when no other chump could be found and they won't pay what Nascar is now asking. Monster had troubles with signage at some tracks due to prior track advertising agreements The Cup series will be called the Nascar Cup Series with no sponsors name. Somehow NASCAR is trying to sell 4-5 elite sponsorship to include track, broadcast, NASCAR website components - Whatever that means.
- I'll miss seeing the Monster Girl's bellybuttons. :behindsofa: LOL
- Gibbs did not appeal Erik Jones DQ for rear toe or rear wheel steer.
- TV Ratings - Against the UGA-ND football game Saturday night, the race got a 1.07 vs 1.11 last year. UGA-ND got a 6.2.
