Charlotte's half-oval, half-road course will end four drivers' championship hopes in the Round of 12 elimination race

Sunday's Cup race will be the third and final race in the round of 12, where four drivers will be eliminated from championship contention after the race. Tyler Reddick (+14) and Chase Elliott (+13) have a tenuous hold on 7th and 8th in the playoff points standings, though both have been very good on road courses.
