The Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR
Camping World Trucks return to the racing action this weekend as the opening act for a triple header at the track nicknamed ‘Too Tough to Tame.”
Darlington's difficult nature is due to its egg shape, which stemmed from a logistical problem as the track was being built in 1949. The track property was purchased from farmer Sherman Ramsey. Retired racer, Harold Brasington bought the parcel of land from Ramsey, but promised his new speedway would not disturb the minnow pond that was on the property. Brasington built the east side of the track just like he wanted but in order not to upset Ramsey, he had to tighten it up on the west end, giving it the egg-shaped design.
