Goodyear 400 Track: Darlington Raceway

Darlington Raceway, known as “The Track Too Tough to Tame,” is a 1.366-mile egg-shaped oval with two drastically different corners, making it one of the most unique tracks in NASCAR.

The quirky layout came from the original owner refusing to move a minnow pond, forcing one end of the track to be tighter and more narrow than the other.

It’s made entirely of asphalt and is notoriously hard on tires, demanding precision and patience from even the best drivers.

Darlington is my favorite track on the schedule because it tests a driver’s skill like no other place does. Over the last two years, drivers like Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Tyler Reddick have stood out here with strong performances and top finishes.

The worn-out surface, tricky shape, and relentless challenge make Darlington a true throwback that never fails to deliver drama.

Goodyear 400 Head-to-Head Prediction

Ty Gibbs +120 vs Kyle Busch

I think this is worth a sprinkle as Gibbs finished 13th last week 17th on Martinsville, and while I’m not a fan of Gibbs, he finished 2nd at this race last year, well ahead of Busch. Busch finished ahead of him in the fall, but that was a different season with different conditions.

Busch looked great at COTA and Phoenix, but he’s started to fall off as expected finished 33rd, 21st and 17th at Las Vegas, Miami and Martinsville. This +120 price makes it too good to pass up, this is worth a sprinkle.

Goodyear 400 Winning Manufacturer

1 unit on Chevy +140

1 unit on Ford +250

Ford’s haven’t been great this year, but this is a track they’ve had success at. Ford and Chevy have won at Darlington the last 6 races so I think if we put a unit on both, we’ll come out ahead if one of them wins.

In the spring, Toyota had 3 cars in the Top 13, and in the fall they only had 3 Toyota’s in the top 16. We’ll roll with Chevy and Ford again at Darlington.
