The Nascar Darlington schedule also includes the Night races as well as Goodyear 400. Daytona All-Star Race (which has been moved from August to September) is also on the schedule. These races are the crown jewel of NASCAR racing. The race is located in the South Carolina town of Darlington, about one hour from Atlanta.
Goodyear 400
The Goodyear 400 is the last race in NASCAR’s Throwback Weekend. The track will feature many of the popular past paint schemes. Jeff Gordon's DuPont Fire Scheme from the early 2000s as well as a replica Lee Petty’s 1959 Daytona 500 win car will be some of the highlights. Richard Petty will share the analyst role with Bobby Labonte as well as Bill Elliott.
This race pays tribute to NASCAR's past and celebrates the greats that made this sport great. The Goodyear 400 will be Sunday's main event, but you can also catch the Xfinity Series and Truck Series races. This event is a must for NASCAR fans.
Goodyear 400 will have a qualifying session, as well as a practice section. The 36-car field of competitors will be broken into two groups. Each group will receive a practice session lasting 15 minutes. Qualifying will follow immediately after practice, and the five drivers with the best times in each group advance to the final round. Ten drivers will run a lap each in the final round.
Daytona All-Star Race moved up to August
The Daytona All-Star Race will move from July to August in 2020. The summer race will now be held one week earlier than usual, giving fans more time and allowing them to experience the action. Fans will have two weekends off August through September, which NBC Sports will use to cover the Tokyo Olympics. Speedway Motorsports stated that it would be open to hosting the race at Nashville in 2021. O'Donnell indicated that NASCAR would not relocate the Daytona race unless it was given a compelling reason.
The All-Star Race was initially scheduled to take place on the Cup circuit. Charlotte Motor Speedway opted to make the All-Star race one of its main events and invested heavily marketing and advertising. This decision also allowed the possibility of moving the race to Bristol Motor Speedway for 2020. This move would allow fans more time and help them get ready for the race. It also brought in a large audience.
Darlington Night Races
Darlington Motor Speedway has been a NASCAR venue since 1950. The track is well-known for its difficulty in mastering, with the NASCAR first race held at it in 1950. Although a racer may be able to run laps without any problems, they can also bounce off the wall one lap. This is part of the challenge as well as part of the sport. Drivers who hit the wall will get a so-called Darlington Stripe, which is a small section of missing paint on their right side.
Darlington, South Carolina. The track is subject to occasional rain showers, but generally the weather on race days is sunny and warm. Even though the chances of rain falling at night are less likely, they do decrease. Only 30% of the Southern 500's Sunday rain chances are good.
