The NASCAR schedule is moving on to Darlington Raceway. There will be three national series races with the Truck, O'Reilly, and Cup Series taking the track. Friday to Sunday, there is nothing but NASCAR action.
This weekend, the Lady in Black waits for these drivers to grace the asphalt and the walls at Darlington. One of the most historic tracks on the schedule, and there is plenty to keep up with for fans.
Things start off with the Buckle Up South Carolina 200, then the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200, and finally, the Goodyear 400.

Darlington is a track that has hosted many great races and finishes. Seeing the Truck Series and O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will be a nice warm-up for a Cup Series race that will feature a new engine package.
NASCAR is applying the increased horsepower package to all oval tracks under 1.5 miles in length and all road courses. Drivers and teams are expecting increased tire fall-off and harder handling conditions in the car.
The Truck Series has been on a break for a couple of weeks. Now, they are going to a very difficult track and one that will test these young and developing drivers in the field. William Sawalich, AJ Allmendinger, Corey LaJoie, Ross Chasain, Christopher Bell, and Carson Hocevar will add an extra element of excitement to the race.
Chastain and Bell will run triple duty and participate in all three races. Kyle Larson will try to dominate the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race as well. Truck and Cup action is on FS1. Of course, O'Reilly Series action is, as always, on The CW.
