This was our first time to a NASCAR race, the Southern 500 in May 2012. The race is not just a great experience but everything in between including the tailgate party, chatting with the other fans and the start and finish of the race. The research paid off and the Pearson Tower was the place to be (4th turn you... More

By renewing tickets from the year before, I was able to get a free track walk in the morning before the race.... More

This year Darlington Race Way provided shuttle service around the area. Of course this was a wonderful surprise for me because I have a handicap and it worked out beautifully. I hope that next year more will be available, but I am not complaining!!! Great Job!

We just came from the race and what an experience. We had great access and there is a ton to do.It was an easy walk and the parking is large leaving room for tailgating tents and cooking. The people and parties are great. Lots of bathrooms unlike many others. We go back every year.

After so many years of wanting to go we finally made the trip to Darlington for the Southern 500 on May 12. Parking is FREE which is unheard of in these 'grab every penny' times. Small coolers are permiited which is extremely nice so you don't have to pay crazy prices for drinks at the event. The track overall is... More

While in the gift shop which has lots of NASCAR merchandise,we received directions to view the track more closely, taking a photo through the fence. We asked to use... More

Living in the state I have been to many a race. It's just a big part of the Nascar history and now with the museum it's great.
