• Location: 1301 Harry Byrd Hwy., Darlington, SC
• Nicknamed “The Lady in Black” and “The Track Too Tough to Tame.” These two titles provide some indication of the respect and awe NASCAR drivers and fans have for Darlington, the oldest superspeedway hosting Cup events.
• Length: 1.366 mi (2.198 km)
• Capacity: 47,000
• Surface: Asphalt
• Opened: 1950. Darlington contractor Harold Brasington attended the Indianapolis 500 in 1933 and dreamed of building a similar track in his hometown.
• Three NASCAR Hall of Famers — Richard Petty (below), Bobby Labonte and Bill Elliott — will be FOX Sports’ on-air guests Sunday at Darlington. Petty is set to join the broadcast during Stage 1, Labonte will be a guest in Stage 2, and Elliott will slot alongside lead announcer Mike Joy and analyst Clint Bowyer in Stage 3. All three are former Darlington winners. Elliott was a five-time winner at the historic 1.366-mile track, including three Southern 500 victories and a season sweep of its events in 1985. Petty won there three times, claiming the Southern 500 trophy as part of his 1967 sweep. Labonte has one Darlington win, securing the Southern 500 laurels in 2000.
