Race fans flock to Darlington Raceway for NASCAR
Though he has had several races this year when he had a auto capable of winning, Sunday night’s race in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway was only his second win of the season.

Martin Truex Jr. won the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night, his second win in a prestigious event this season.
It was the second win of the season for Truex, the first time he has scored multiple Cup victories in a season and also the first time that the single-car Furniture Row Racing team has scored more than one win a season.
NASCAR will argue the sport is bigger than one, two or three personalities, and that the stable is full of young talent to carry stock vehicle racing deep into the future. “The pit crew was flawless tonight – they won the race”.
“I knew when the bad luck would stop coming we’d start racking them off”, he said. Tonight we weren’t the best vehicle, and we won for once. I have a lot of respect for Tony. But there’s also no exaggerating that Harvick lost almost 20 spots on pit road over the course of the race.
Clay Millican led the Top Fuel lineup, Bo Butner topped the Pro Stock field, and Angelle Sampey paced the Pro Stock Motorcycle riders in the regular-season finale. The Harvick pit crew has had one change this year, at the front tire changer spot. Kyle Larson also flirted with the lead after stealing it from Denny Hamlin with 83 laps to go.
Harvick was asked how he balances the positive and with tough criticism for his team.
Lap leaders: Harvick 1-93; Keselowski 94-138; Harvick 139-162; Keselowski 163-164; Harvick 165-251; Hamlin 252-261; Kyle Busch 262; Kenseth 263-272; Harvick 273-281; Hamlin 282-284; Larson 285-329; Newman 330-338; Truex 339-350;.
Truex, whose previous victory this season came at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, outlasted Kevin Harvick, who led a race-high 214 laps but was ultimately undone by errors by his pit crew.
“Our team in the garage did a great job”, Harvick said.
Heading into today’s Darlington race, the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings are now topped by Kevin Harvick, who leads second place driver Brad Keselowski by thirty-five points.
Truex grabbed the lead, while Harvick briefly gave up second to Kyle Larson but eventually grabbed it back. He battled back but could not catch Truex.
Jeff Gordon is mostly retired and Tony Stewart is nearly out the door. Scott thought Stewart was mad at him and ran into him on objective. “I was trying to let Tony (Stewart) go there and I think he got inside of me and got loose there”.
He was in vintage form Sunday night at Darlington Raceway, where he seemed to intentionally wreck Brian Scott in a move that earned him a post-race sit-down with NASCAR’s bigwigs.

“I am not sure what he thought was going on there”, Scott said. “He’s always raced me really clean”. Officials called Stewart and crew chief Mike Bugarewicz to their hauler at the end.
