Goodyear 400 Overview
Goodyear 400 is a 400-mile-long NASCAR Cup Series race that takes 293 laps to finish, with the Darlington Raceway being 1.366 miles long. The first stage is 90 laps, the second stage is 95 laps, and the final stage covers 108 laps.
The track has 4 turns with special features that require drivers to race against the wall, causing drivers to earn “Darlington Stripes” from grazing the walls. The circuit is nicknamed “The Track Too Tough to Tame” and “The Lady in Black” by both drivers and fans.
The event has featured NASCAR’s Throwback weekend since 2021, featuring vehicles with paint schemes that honor former teams and drivers. In 2022, Joey Logano of Team Penske won the race with a car manufactured by Ford. He will be looking to add to his single race win this season to improve his chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
