This weekend, we head to Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400. The race is at 3:00pm EST on FS1. This 400-mile race is not as daunting as the 500-mile race at the end of the summer, but it’s still one of the most challenging racetracks in the Series. With the high-tire wear and steep banks, anything can happen at Darlington. This is the same tire they ran at Darlington in 2024. This tire code was used at Homestead and Las Vegas earlier this season. There was a spin in practice 1, which hurt some of the long run practice data in that group. Group B had a “slower” track, but we got a lot more long run data in that group. I’ll be using recent Darlington data, steep high tire wear track data, practice, 2025 speed, and a few other things when building lineups.
