The twists and turns of the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL challenged drivers across all three of NASCAR's National Series. Tyler Reddick, Connor Zilisch and Brent Crews earned Xfinity Fastest Lap awards during ROVAL weekend.
In the Bank of America ROVAL 400, Reddick started on the pole and clocked the fastest lap of the race on lap one. His lap of 86.738 seconds held up for the rest of the 109-lap race as the quickest of the day for the NASCAR Cup Series.
Reddick finished 10th in the race, but unfortunately missed out on advancing in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. Reddick led the first three laps before turning over the lead to eventual winner Shane van Gisbergen.
Connor Zilisch dominated the NASCAR Xfinity Series Blue Cross NC 250 on Saturday, leading 61 of 68 laps en route to his 10th win of the season. Zilisch also set the Xfinity Fastest Lap of the race, with a time of 86.702 seconds.
Zilisch's fast lap came on the 45th lap of the race, shortly after reclaiming the lead for the final time. It was his sixth Xfinity Fastest Lap of the 2025 season. Zilisch will be part of the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs, which begins Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series started its Round of 8 on Friday with the Ecosave 250, the series' first race on the ROVAL. Brent Crews logged the Xfinity Fastest Lap of the race, won by Corey Heim.
Crews led 56 of the race's 70 laps, but lost out in a late-race battle with Heim for the victory. Crews still finished second and recorded the Xfinity Fastest Lap, with a time of 86.666 seconds on lap 25.
