Tour Notes

Why We Love Racing at Darlington Raceway

Darlington Raceway is pure NASCAR history. Known as “The Lady in Black” and “The Track Too Tough to Tame,” this legendary South Carolina oval is unlike any other. Its egg-shaped design and uneven corners challenge even the best drivers — one wrong move, and you’ll earn that famous “Darlington Stripe” on the right side of your car.

Our Darlington NASCAR Ticket Package puts you right in the middle of it all for the Cook Out Southern 500, one of the sport’s most iconic races. Watching the sun set behind the grandstands as the lights come on and 40 cars thunder past is an unforgettable experience — equal parts nostalgia and high-speed drama.


Comfort, Convenience & Southern Charm

We stay at the Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort, an upscale beachfront property that’s a guest favorite. Enjoy ocean views, spacious suites, and the perfect balance of relaxation and racing excitement.

On race day, our RaceAway motorcoach takes you from Myrtle Beach to Darlington Raceway — about a 75-minute drive through scenic South Carolina countryside. Guests flying in can arrive via Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), located just minutes from our host hotel.

At the track, our buses park near Turns 1 and 2, providing easy access to our Tyler Tower seats on the front stretch near the start/finish line. You’ll have one of the best vantage points in the house — a full view of pit road and the iconic Darlington stripe zone in Turn 4.


Race Night in the Carolinas

The Cook Out Southern 500 is always special. It’s a night race steeped in tradition, and as the sun dips below the horizon, the lights come on and the temperature drops into the comfortable 60s — perfect racing weather.

This event marks a highlight of the NASCAR calendar, and every year it delivers — dramatic finishes, emotional wins, and that unmistakable Darlington atmosphere. For many, this race is a throwback to the golden era of stock car racing, and it never fails to impress both longtime fans and first-timers alike.
