Overview

Darlington is a 1.37-mile egg-shaped oval in Darlington, South Carolina. Uniquely shaped historic track. Cup races in spring and Labor Day weekend.

Southeast summer heat and thunderstorm risk are significant for the Labor Day race. Track surface holds heat well.

Heat, tire wear, and radar risk are the primary weather angles. The abrasive surface produces heavy tire wear that heat exaggerates.
