Darlington Announces 2016 Throwback Weekend's Return

Darlington Raceway announced the return of the throwback campaign for the Bojangles' Southern 500 race weekend on Sept. 2-4, 2016. The track will be celebrating the era from 1975 thru 1984. This was the era that saw Cale Yarborough win 3 championships in a row, Dale Earnhardt Sr. win his first career championship in the #2 Osterlund Racing Car, along with many memorable paint schemes. Many drivers have said they will step up there game from 2015 and I certainly hope to see a throwback paint scheme on every car in 2016. Earlier this year Carl Edwards won the Southern 500 with Joe Gibbs in a Regular season paint scheme, so lets hope to see a Throwback on EVERY car in 2016! Tickets will go on sale very soon and if you purchased 2015 tickets your renewal notice will be in your mail box sometime in January so make sure to renew! (Koelle, 2015)
