With state protocols around social distancing limiting the number of fans who can take part in the upcoming Bank of America ROVAL™ 400 weekend, Charlotte Motor Speedway and its partners have created a bevy of virtual opportunities for fans to stay connected and be part of the action-packed weekend at America’s Home for Racing.
“We share the disappointment of so many of our fans who cannot join us this weekend for the Drive for the Cure 250 and Bank of America ROVAL™ 400, but we won’t let the pandemic keep us from providing them with a memorable experience,” said Greg Walter, executive vice president and general manager. “With the help of some of our key partners, we’ve created a buffet of options for fans to stay connected with us, win some cool prize and be a part of this unique race weekend no matter where or how they are watching.”
Below are a few of the unique virtual fan engagement opportunities fans can enjoy leading up to and during this weekend’s action:
Bank of America ROVAL™ Trivia: The driver who takes the checkered flag on Sunday won’t be the only winner at the Bank of America ROVAL™ 400. Thanks to Bank of America’s all-new ROVAL™ 400 online trivia challenge, race fans will have the opportunity to walk away a winner. Utilizing an interactive experience, fans will test their motorsports knowledge as they race around a virtual ROVAL™ answering trivia questions.

Hundreds of fans who correctly answer all 17 questions correctly will be awarded a credit to the ROVAL™ fan online shop.
