Like Bristol, at some point they switched the front stretch & the back stretch @ Darlington. Obviously, that didn’t make it any easier to drive. In the older film, lots of the grandstands were covered too.Xtra Loud & Xtra hot… But if the temperature & humidity are both 88, I’m not sure the cover helps much.

The photo finish with Craven and Busch and the photo finish was big for Darlington but you touched on the fact in 2020 Darlington had three races, and when they announced Darlington would be the first race back from Covid I like a lot of you we were just happy NASCAR was back. I was just so happy, I mean when I heard that they’d be coming back at Darlington I was like yes, yes, and yes! NASCAR is back. I of course needed anything to try and escape from all the covid stuff and give me something anything just anything to entertain me. I know throwback weekend besides the SuperSpeedway races are my favorite races to enjoy. And whenever I go to the store I usually around late in the year or early in the year like this year try and go look for them when NASCAR decided to team up with Lionel for the authentics I went to one of my Wal-Mart’s and I found a few of them and I was like whoa, Throwback cars!!!! Yes.

I think Dale Jr really inspired the throwback stuff, doing the DW Mtn Dew throwback that year. Second, I think nascar lucked out getting the spring race back so they can use that as throwback. Granted nascar drivers change sponsors week to week but it’s important for consistency to go ahead and have the drivers in the paint schemes they’ll be with through some or most of the playoffs.

In reply to Bailey Winston. You gotta come to a race at least. You won't regret it.

In reply to Andrew Meyer. As someone who lives in SC and hasn't missed a race since 2018. You can't not go. Every race is memorable.

7:52 This shot looks straight out of Days Of Thunder!
In any case glad NASCAR was able to restore the luster on this crown jewel. Always a weekend to look forward to!

Darlington’s survival and comeback gives me hope that Rockingham will one day be back on the Cup schedule.

As a person from south Carolina I appreciate nascar making the effort to put 2 dates on nascar schedule for Darlington Darlington will always be one of my favorite tracks because of the history and the throwback weekend I just hope it stays that way because Darlington is one of the crown Jewels of nascar

So glad they kept Darlington around, one of my favorite tracks to watch a race, haven’t been there in person but would love to someday. A crown jewel with plenty of history, and a track with 2 of the best dates on the schedule every year
