Background

edit
Darlington Racewaywhere the race was held.

Darlington Racewayis arace trackbuilt forNASCARracing located nearDarlington, South Carolina.It is nicknamed"The Lady in Black"and"The Track Too Tough to Tame"by many NASCAR fans and drivers and advertised as "A NASCAR Tradition." It is of a unique, somewhat egg-shaped design, an oval with the ends of very different configurations, a condition which supposedly arose from the proximity of one end of the track to a minnow pond the owner refused to relocate. This situation makes it very challenging for the crews to set up their cars' handling in a way that is effective at both ends.

Since2015,the race has hosted NASCAR's Throwback weekend, which features cars sporting paint schemes that pay homage to past teams and drivers. (The lineage of this race includes races billed as the Southern 500 from 2005 to 2020.)[9]
