DARLINGTON, S.C. - Sunday afternoon will bring the opportunity for drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series to make some history. And on a weekend in which the sport celebrates it.
Throwback Weekend at Darlington Raceway has one final act, the eighth race of the Cup schedule. A total of 400 miles are scheduled to be run around the 1.366-mile, egg-shaped oval and it all starts at 3 p.m. and will air on FS1.
The track has long been kind to Hendrick Motorsports, which has scored an all-time high 16 victories there. And the organization has already shown speed this weekend, with William Byron claiming the pole during Saturday's qualifying session. Chase Elliott followed that up with a second-place run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race.
Both Byron and Kyle Larson are part of Hendrick Motorsports' mastery in South Carolina with each owning a prior victory. Can they - or perhaps Elliott or Alex Bowman - add another tally to the company's win column?
Only Sunday will tell. Here's a look at everything you need to know before the green flag flies:
