All-time NASCAR winners at Darlington Raceway
NASCAR has been racing at Darlington Speedway since 1950 when Johnny Mantz won the first Southern 500.
Mantz used truck tires that could go longer than anyone else. He led 351 of 400 laps and won by nine laps on a hot September day.
In 1982, the Xfinity Series – then the Grand National Series – joined the Cup Series at the track. Then, from 2001-04, the Craftsman Truck Series raced there, returning in 2010-11 and every year since 2020.
