Day Trippin'
If you have never been to a Nascar race, Darlington would be a great indoctrination. The track is old school, known as the “Track to Tough to Tame” or “The Lady in Black”. The track is located just west of Florence SC in the city of Darlington. Surviving the modernization of racing with bigger crowd and more attention, the track has remained relatively the same. When it was built in 1958 by Harold Brasington, the track was constructed in an egg shape to save the minnow pond located in what was turn 2. This makes the track very difficult to drive because setting up the cars for different style turn radiuses is a challenge for the crews and drivers. In 1997 front stretch was flipped to back and the pond is now off turn four. When I first attended races, the grandstands were covered, and the noise was deafening with the cars just feet from the stands. You would park in people’s yard as they would sell spaces. This tradition still continues today however the track has ample parking.
