The 2009 NASCAR Banking 500 only from Bank of America was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on October 17, 2009, at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The race was the thirty-first of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, the fifth of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and the only race scheduled at night during the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup that concluded the season.

ABC televised the race beginning at 7  pm ET, and the Performance Racing Network (Terrestrial) along with Sirius XM Radio (Satellite) provided radio coverage starting at the same time.

Jimmie Johnson was the quickest in all three practice sessions and won the pole position for the race. He continued his strong performance throughout the race, leading a race-high of 92 laps before winning. He also increased his championship lead and his chances for a fourth consecutive title.
