This is not a race you'll want to miss as the Darlington track bears the nicknames – 'Lady in Black' and 'The Track too Tough to Tame' by NASCAR fans and drivers alike. This track measures a circuit length of 1.366 miles with the first two turns banking a deadly 25 degrees and the third and fourth turns banking 23. The lap record is 27.405 and was set by Greg Biffle in 2008.

The race, this year called the Southern 500, is one of the hardest of the year and this year's race will be no exception. Last year, Kyle Busch and his Toyota won over $330,000 by speeding past everyone else to cross the checkered flag first, while Carl Edwards rode his bumper to take the second place on the podium. The race bore the name of the Dodge Challenger and Jeff Gordon took third while Dale Earnhardt Jr. and David Ragan took fourth and fifth place.
