Darlington Raceway officials have announced that the track will receive a significant investment for a capital improvement project, slated to begin immediately.
The project coined "A Better Darlington…The Tradition Continues" will feature a renovation of the track’s Tyler, Wallace and Colvin Grandstands, giving fans a more comfortable seating experience when they attend the September 1–2 NASCAR race weekend. In 2018, the focus of Darlington’s throwback platform will be a celebration of the Seven Decades of NASCAR, in tribute to the 70th anniversary of the sport.
The pitch of the Tyler Tower Grandstands on the frontstretch will be improved, providing better sightlines and viewing experience for the fans. Stadium-style chairback seats with cup holders will replace the current metal seats in Tyler, providing a wider and more comfortable seating experience.
The metal seats in the Wallace Grandstands on the frontstretch will be replaced with bench style seats with backs, providing fans with a wider and more comfortable seating experience, as well. The historic Colvin Grandstands will also receive a makeover, with wider, more comfortable bench seating, along with refurbished concession areas and restroom facilities.
All grandstands at Darlington Raceway will now be considered smoke-free. Designated smoking areas will be available throughout the concourses for guests.
Additionally, multiple cross-over gates will be installed along the frontstretch, providing fans with quicker and more efficient access to Bojangles’ Southern 500 pre-race activities.
The project will also feature a Wall of Honor, banner signage at the bottom of the Wallace and Colvin grandstands that will pay tribute to the former race champions at the track.
