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.

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.

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.

You gotta come to a race at least. You won’t regret it.

As someone who lives in SC and hasn’t missed a race since 2018. You can’t not go. Every race is memorable.

In any case glad NASCAR was able to restore the luster on this crown jewel. Always a weekend to look forward to!

A crown jewel with plenty of history, and a track with 2 of the best dates on the schedule every year
