The Cup Series will have their throwback paint schemes this week when they compete at Darlington Raceway. If you like a tough track that wears out tires and requires the drivers to run inches away from the wall… this race is for you. The races at the “Track Too Tough to Tame” are typically 500-miles...
Driver Group Game Picks for Darlington
NASCAR is going Old School this week at Darlington Raceway. It is always cool to see the old paint schemes on the cars and remember the days when a runaway tire on pit road would bring out an immediate caution. I guess those days are over. Darlington always puts on a good race; I just...
NASCAR One & Done Picks for Darlington
It is throwback weekend for NASCAR at Darlington Raceway. This is one of my favorite races, not only because the Lady in Black puts on a pretty good show, but because I like seeing the old paint schemes. It should be another good race this week. The Goodyear 400 can be seen Sunday at 3:30...
Best Bets for Darlington
The NASCAR Cup Series will travel to Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400 on Mother’s Day. That is a perfect name for the race since “The Track Too Tough to Tame” typically eats up tires. The “Lady in Black” also has its way with the drivers throughout the 293 laps. This should be a good...
Fantasy NASCAR Stats for Darlington

Darlington Notes
NASCAR fans are usually treated to one race at the historical Darlington Raceway but that was not the case in 2020.

DraftKings NASCAR Picks for Kansas
The NASCAR Cup Series will travel to the Heartland to compete at Kansas Speedway. There were two races at this track in 2020 and they could not have been more different. The July race was hot and slick, while the October race was cold and the track had plenty of grip. The forecast for Sunday’s...
FanDuel Picks for Kansas
The NASCAR Cup Series will be back to the 550 HP aero package for some racing at Kansas Speedway. It has been five weeks since the series competed on an intermediate track so that should have been plenty of time for the teams who struggled earlier in the season to figure things out for this...
