Darlington Raceway, located in Darlington, South Carolina, is a historic 1.366-mile oval track known for its unique egg-shaped design and challenging racing conditions. Opened in 1950, it has been a staple in NASCAR racing, hosting two annual events: the Goodyear 400 in the spring and the Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend.
The track’s asymmetrical layout, with varying banking degrees—25° in turns one and two, 22° in turns three and four, and 6° on the straights—adds to its complexity, making it one of the most demanding circuits on the NASCAR schedule.
In 2025, Darlington Raceway continues its tradition of hosting premier NASCAR events. The Goodyear 400 is scheduled for April 6, 2025, and the Southern 500 will take place on September 7, 2025.
For fans interested in experiencing the track, Darlington Raceway offers various events and opportunities. One upcoming event is the Track Laps for Charity on April 3, 2025, where participants can take laps around the track to support the SportClips VFW Help A Hero program. Additionally, official travel packages, including event tickets, accommodations, and pre-race experiences, are available through On Location, the official travel package provider for Darlington Raceway.
