Darlington Raceway is once again on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule with a regular season race and a playoff race, and the former is scheduled to take place this Sunday afternoon.
The Goodyear 400, which is scheduled to be a 293-lap race around the four-turn, 1.366-mile (2.198-kilometer) egg-shaped Darlington, South Carolina oval, is the eighth race on the 2025 schedule.
With the track "Too Tough To Tame" also scheduled to host the playoff opener in late August, drivers and teams will be looking to leave this weekend with a solid notebook to look back on a few months from now.
The qualifying order was determined by the new two-variable metric (full breakdown here), which NASCAR introduced at the start of the 2025 season, and NASCAR is once again set to use the new single-round qualifying format.
All 38 drivers on the entry list are lined up in reverse metric order, and the entire starting lineup is determined by single-lap pace in Saturday's qualifying session. There is only one round of qualifying.
Follow along with our live qualifying updates.
