Due to pandemic-related restrictions, NASCAR added not one but two races to Darlington Raceway's schedule in 2020. While the track did not retain all three races beyond 2020, the 2021 season did mark the first time since 2004 in which the track "Too Tough To Tame" hosted exactly two races.
And it has hosted two races ever since. From 2021 to 2023, it hosted one race in the regular season and another in the playoffs. Last year, it hosted two in the regular season, including the regular season finale, and in 2025, its second race is back on the playoff schedule.
Races at the four-turn, 1.366-mile (2.198-kilometer) Darlington, South Carolina oval have been some of the most exciting races of the year for the past few seasons, and the recent spring races have seen some classic finishes.
Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron is set to start the race on the pole position after posting the fastest speed in Saturday's qualifying session, and RFK Racing's Ryan Preece is set to join him on the front row in second place.
A full starting lineup for Sunday's 293-lap Goodyear 400 can be found here.
