WATCH: Everything you need to know about NASCAR’s stop-and-go penalty at the Charlotte Roval

NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass recently shared a video that detailed NASCAR's stop-and-go rule at the Bank of America 400 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The informative video shared by Pockrass discussed the possible penalties for cutting corners and driving through the chicanes.

NASCAR is headed towards the last playoff race of the Round of 12 on the Charlotte ROVAL. Drivers will be seen in action at the intricate right and left turns for a chance to drive through the victory lane at the 2.28-mile asphalt track.

In a recent X post, Fox Sports journalists shared an update on the rules and regulations regarding cutting corners in NASCAR races. The narrator in the video explained that drivers who bypass the chicanes will be required to perform a stop-and-go penalty at the designated location.

"Going straight at the chicane may result in a stop-and-go penalty in an assigned location for the violation. If a vehicle goes straight in the back straight chicane, the vehicle must perform the stop-and-go prior to exiting the back straight chicane or on the apron, driver’s left, prior to the start/finish line."

Furthermore, the video talked about the possibility of drivers missing out on performing the stop-and-go penalty. The narrator continued:

"If the stop-and-go is not performed by the vehicle prior to exiting the designated penalty assessment location, the vehicle may be assessed a pass-through penalty. If the violation occurs in the closing laps of the race and there is not enough time to assess the pass-through penalty, a post-race time penalty of 30 seconds will be assessed to the vehicle’s total time."

NASCAR insider shares an updated layout of the Charlotte ROVAL

Renowned journalist Bob Pockrass shared a walkthrough video of the newly updated road course layout at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The reconfiguration of the ROVAL was announced during the previous visit to Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600 event.

In a recent post on X, Pockrass talked about the notable difference on Turn 6 and 7 from last year.

So to give you a better idea of the change here in the infield, you can tell where the new pavement is on the left," Pockrass said. "Normally, they would turn here as part of the infield portion, but now they are still going uphill to Turn 6, what you just saw was the old Turn 6, and now this new Turn 6.

With this new alteration, this turn would be prone to high-braking zones. Pockrass continued:

"They are cresting this hill, and they already have to be breaking by now in order to probably make this turn. So, that will be the big challenge here is that they are going up the hill, entering a breaking zone, almost blind going into this turn here."

The Sunday's road course race will decide the next eight drivers who will advance to the first Round of 8 race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 20.
