Скачать или смотреть NASCAR Quietly ERASED the Roval and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Reaction Changed Everything

The Roval is gone—and the way NASCAR handled it might be the most revealing part of all.

Without a major announcement or public debate, NASCAR quietly removed one of its boldest playoff experiments from the schedule. The Charlotte Roval, once a chaos-filled Round of 12 wildcard, is officially sidelined as the oval returns in 2026. That single move didn’t just change one race—it reshaped the entire postseason.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s reaction surprised a lot of people.

Instead of pushing back or defending the Roval on sentiment alone, Earnhardt accepted the decision and explained why it made sense in today’s NASCAR. His comments opened the door to a much bigger conversation about the Next Gen car, the decline of road course racing, playoff balance, and whether chaos has replaced true competition.

As NASCAR transitions to a new charter agreement, a reworked Chase-style championship format, and a dramatically altered schedule, the Roval’s removal feels less like an isolated decision—and more like part of a larger reset.

This video breaks down:
• Why NASCAR really removed the Roval
• How the Next Gen car changed road course racing
• Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s unexpected stance on the decision
• Denny Hamlin’s blunt assessment of oval racing vs. road courses
• What this means for the playoffs, SVG-style specialists, and championship integrity
• How overtime rules and number placement factor into NASCAR’s bigger identity shift

The Roval isn’t destroyed—it’s shelved.
The question is whether NASCAR is fixing its foundation… or just moving pieces around.
