Darlington Raceway is scheduled to host the eighth race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season this Sunday afternoon.
The Goodyear 400 is scheduled to be a 293-lap race around the four-turn, 1.366-mile (2.198-kilometer) egg-shaped Darlington, South Carolina, and it is the first of two races at the "Lady in Black" on the 2025 calendar. The second is scheduled to get the four-round, 10-race playoffs underway in late August.
There are 38 drivers set to compete in this Sunday's race, and the qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable formula that was introduced ahead of the 2025 season.
The car's rank in the owner standings is weighted at 30%, and the car's finish in the most recent race is weighted at 70%. Drivers line up in reverse metric order, and there is only one round under the new qualifying format. The speeds from the first round of the single-car qualifying session determine the full starting lineup.
