Official Release

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series will be in action at Darlington Raceway, while the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is off this weekend. Check out the full schedule below, which is subject to change.

News and notes: Coming off a very solid performance at Road America, Boyd will head south to have his first date with The Lady in Black at Darlington Raceway. Boyd will sport a special throwback paint scheme honoring three-time ARCA champion Bob Dotter, this weekend. Earlier this week it was announced Bob Dotter has been nominated to the 2019 Illinois Stock Car Hall of fame. “This is going to be such a special weekend,” says Boyd. "I'm so appreciative of everything Bobby Dotter has done for me and my career. It's really cool that we get to honor his father in such a historic race. I think this scheme will definitely be worth a couple tenths or so."

One of NASCAR’s most traditional and historic events is back as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) and NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) converge on Darlington Raceway this weekend. A Roush Fenway Ford has visited victory lane 20 times across NASCAR’s three major touring series at ‘The Track Too Tough to Tame.’

“I’m excited about Darlington. It’s probably one of the most unknown tracks that I’ve gone to this year since I’ve never been there. From everything I have seen, I think it is a track that I’m really going to like. It’s obviously a very tricky race track and demands a lot of respect. I’m excited for the challenge and hopefully I can have a strong run in my final race of the season in the No. 60 Ford.”

Reed started the race 17th and was able to capitalize on fresh tires to race his way up to 11th, but contact on pit road impeded his forward momentum. Despite an extra pit stop for left front fender repair, Reed rebounded to finish 15th.

Kenseth will make his 25th MENCS start at Darlington this weekend. In 24 previous races, Kenseth has one win (2013), three top-five and 12 top-10 finishes.

SIX GENERATIONS OF CAMARO FOR 7 DECADES OF DARLINGTON: Darlington Raceway and Chevrolet have partnered to have all six generations of the manufacturer’s legendary Camaro pace the field prior to the green flag for the Southern 500.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is heading into its' 25th race of the season this weekend at Darlington Raceway. The 1.366 mi egg-shaped oval based in Darlington, South Carolina will host the second-to-last race of the NASCAR regular season. Matt DiBenedetto will be racing with a special CorvetteParts.net throwback scheme paying tribute to one of his childhood heroes.

This weekend’s event at Darlington Raceway will mark Elliott’s sixth NASCAR Xfinity Series race with GMS Racing. Elliott is scheduled to run next weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as well.

Ryan Reed’s No. 16 Ford will take on an iconic look this weekend at Darlington Raceway, as the team honors back-to-back wins made by Greg Biffle in 2005 and 2006 with a patriotic throwback to those victories. Roush Fenway Racing is the winningest team in NASCAR history and the timely throwback comes on the heels of team owner Jack Roush being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2019.
