Seems we're all caught up in the "put lipstick on a pig" theme this weekend.

But muh throwbaks.

The other four non-throwbacks should team together and run JD Stacy schemes. It's not right to have just one Stacy car in the field.

Darlington Throwback bitches

NBC doing this again



speak of that, looks like V8 Supercars is doing the same thing in 2 weeks

Oh yeah they love to show those classic Bathurst 1000 footage. I would love to see some classic 16mm in b&w of the supercars. Did u guys saw that 8mm footage of last year Southern 500?

Darlington is the best weekend of the year.

Love this whole throwback weekend. Yeah we can get caught up in rules and racing bullshit but sometimes, you just need to have fuckin fun.

It's supposed to be fun by nature. By doing these little gimmicky things (interesting as they are) once a year, it distracts from the disaster that is the whole.

Understandable.

I feel like the Xfinity race should be at night and the Cup race should be during the day, not the other way around. Iono, just my 2 cents.

I agree. I absolutely wish it were run during the day too but I'm sure you'll get that group of fans that bitch because it's too hot...

They always loved to cook under the sun on Labor Day at Darlington.. now that the race is back on freakin Labor Day after all the whining about briefly losing that tradition, they should be glad to do it again.

Wish ASN could've live-streamed DuQuoin. Race is gonna look tast under the lights.

With the way things have gone racing-quality wise over the past few years, I'll take a small victory like a silly "throwback" weekend.

Also, that 2003 Southern 500 was friggin' TAST.

I was at that 2003 Southern 500, went there because it was going to be the last one. Hot as balls that day, but a great race and an awesome winner everyone was happy for.

Definitely an unexpected win as well - they ran well all year long and ended up in the Top 10 in points, but a win??? One of my all-time favorite, feel-good race finishes.
