A race weekend is on tap for NASCAR fans from all over the country coming to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The Bank of America ROVAL 400 is back on Oct. 8, as drivers compete in the final round of 12 in the Cup Series Playoffs.

While the race is on Sunday, the Speedway is kicking off the weekend with several events and activities, including concerts, a parade and autograph sessions.

There will also be special ROVAL 400 drinks and desserts this year, called the Rocky ROVAL Ice Cream by Ellie May’s Dang Good Ice Cream, made of vanilla ice cream with cheesecake, Oreos and cookie dough; along with ROVAL Rumble Beer, a Helles-style German wheat beer made by Cabarrus Brewing Company.

Aside from the race weekend specials, there are plenty of other food options at The Speedway Club Restaurant and other onsite vendors, including burgers, barbecue and boozy popsicles.
