Overview

In the second race of the round of 10 in the Camping World Truck series, the trucks join the Xfinity and Cup cars this weekend in racing at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. Darlington is a 1.366 mile asphalt oval often referred to as the “Lady in Black” or the “Track Too Tough To Tame”. The banking in turns one and two sit at 25 degrees with three and four resting at 23 degrees. Darlington is an extremely tricky track and one that the drivers often find themselves dealing with turn two, one of the toughest corners in NASCAR. With this weekend came a new wrinkle as the often-patched turn two was completely repaved. Earlier this season Sheldon Creed won this race with Ben Rhodes, the previous Darlington winner coming in second with 34 laps led. Pole sitter John Hunter Nemechek finished eighth from the pole and led 65 laps. Below you’ll find a cheat sheet with most of my favorite plays to start off the weekend of racing!
