The Nascar Darlington schedule also includes the Night races as well as Goodyear 400. Daytona All-Star Race is now included on the schedule. These races are the crown jewel of NASCAR racing. It is located in Darlington, South Carolina, approximately one hour from Atlanta.
Goodyear 400
The Goodyear 400 race is the final one in NASCAR’s Throwback Weekend. Many popular paint schemes will be used to decorate the track. Jeff Gordon's DuPont Fire Scheme from the early 2000s as well as a replica Lee Petty’s 1959 Daytona 500 win car will be some of the highlights. The race will also feature Richard Petty sharing the analyst role with Bobby Labonte and Bill Elliott.
This race celebrates NASCAR's history and the greats who made it great. The Goodyear 400 will be the main event on Sunday, but you can also catch the Xfinity and Truck Series races. Fans of NASCAR racing will want to see this event.
Goodyear 400 will include a qualifying session as well as a practice session. The 36-car field of competitors will be broken into two groups. Each group will receive a practice session lasting 15 minutes. After practice, qualifying will take place. The five fastest drivers in each group will advance to the final round. Ten drivers will run a lap each in the final round.
Daytona All-Star Race moved from August to September
The Daytona All-Star Race will move from July to August in 2020. The summer race will be one week shorter than normal and fans will have more time to enjoy the action. Fans will have two weekends off August through September, which NBC Sports will use to cover the Tokyo Olympics. The Charlotte Motor Speedway will continue to host the race and Speedway Motorsports has said it is open to moving the event to Nashville in 2021. O'Donnell however stated that NASCAR wouldn't move the Daytona summer racing unless they are given a compelling incentive.
The All-Star Race was originally planned to be spread throughout Cup circuit. Charlotte Motor Speedway opted to make the All-Star race one of its main events and invested heavily marketing and advertising. This also gave the opportunity to move the race to Bristol Motor Speedway next year. This move would give fans even more time to get pumped up for the race and bring in a big audience.
Darlington Night Races
Darlington Motor Speedway is one the most revered NASCAR venues. The speedway's first NASCAR racing event was held there in 1950. Since then, the track has been known for being hard to master. Racers can run laps smoothly and bounce off the wall every other lap, but that's part if the challenge. Drivers who make contact with the wall will be given a Darlington Stripe. This small stripe of paint is on their right side.
Darlington lies in South Carolina. Race day weather is generally sunny and warm, with occasional rain showers. However, the chances of rain diminish dramatically as night falls. Sunday's Southern 500 has a 30% chance of rain.
FAQ
What types of cars are used in racing car?
Speed is the most important aspect for any race car driver. It's what makes them go fast. They need to be fast enough for other drivers to catch them, but strong enough so they can keep the lead. This gives them an advantage as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
Lightweight cars are often the fastest. This allows them to accelerate quickly, and gain great speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. This means they have to be efficient with their energy.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These are similar to those found in normal passenger vehicles. But instead of using petrol, these engines run on compressed air. This is because petrol isn’t strong enough to make a car go fast.
