The tight, twisting hybrid course will prove to be a massive challenge for NASCAR's top two national divisions.

"Coming up through here, you can't see anything," Bell said of the run up through Turn 2.

"One thing I found interesting is that there are a lot of blind corners. Almost every corner in the infield is a blind corner. They said we have, what, 30 feet of elevation change which doesn't seem like a lot on paper but as you come out here, there's a bunch of elevation change. It feels like way more than 30 feet."

NASCAR's road course events are already known to be contact-filled and, but with a lack of runoff area and a surplus of blind corners at Charlotte, the race is sure to be action-packed. Add onto that the pressure of the championship playoffs and rising stakes and you could see fireworks both on and off the track come October, 2018.

As for passing zones, which appear to be far and few between, the 23-year-old believes the run down into Turn 1 is the most opportune area to improve one's track position.

The race will be NASCAR's first road course in the ten-race championship playoffs since the system's introduction in 2004 and will be the third road course on the Cup schedule, joining Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen International.

Bell is competing full time in the Xfinity Series for the first time this season, piloting the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota as he continues his ascent through the NASCAR ranks. The Charlotte Roval will be the fourth road course on the NXS schedule, joining WGI, Mid-Ohio and Road America.
