Darlington, too tough to tame
1950
Darlington Raceway, Darlington, South Carolina

NASCAR's first paved superspeedway, built in 1950 by a man who promised not to disturb his neighbor's minnow pond, which is why the track is egg-shaped. The Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend is stock car racing's oldest classic, and scraping the wall off turn four is such a rite that the scuff has a name: the Darlington stripe. Drivers call the place too tough to tame, and the track prints it on everything.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
