NASCAR: Winners And Losers From Darlington
By Cole Mentzel
Winner: The Throwback Celebration
Throwback weekend was a huge success last season so NASCAR decided to bring it back for 2016 and promote it a little more.
We saw everything from throwback paint schemes and throwback outfits to legends of the sport assembling together. Cale Yarborough joined a star-studded group of former drivers, like Bobby Allison and Richard Petty, for a picture before the race and then went on to drive the pace car before the it began.
As the night progressed we got the opportunity to hear Ken Squier, Ned Jarrett and Dale Jarrett share the broadcasting booth for one incredible session.
No matter what went on, it was an awesome time for all kinds of fans. Older fans had the opportunity to relive past memories while younger fans learned new things about the sport.
Throwback weekend has been one of the biggest successes in recent years and it showed as the stands looked nearly filled for the first time in a while this season. The entire event is something NASCAR needs to hang on to for as long as possible.
