Background Darlington Raceway, nicknamed by many NASCAR fans and drivers as "The Lady in Black" or "The Track Too Tough to Tame" and advertised as a "NASCAR Tradition", is a race track built for NASCAR racing located near Darlington, South Carolina. It is of a unique, somewhat egg-shaped design, an oval with the ends of very different configurations, a condition which supposedly arose from the proximity of one end of the track to a minnow pond the owner refused to relocate. This situation makes it very challenging for the crews to set up their cars' handling in a way that will be effective at both ends. The track, Darlington Raceway, is a four-turn 1.366 mi km oval.Darlington Raceway http://www.cbssports.com/nascar/tracks/page/darlington/darlington-raceway dead https://web.archive.org/web/20121019184749/http://www.cbssports.com/nascar/tracks/page/darlington/darlington-raceway 2012-10-19 2013-05-07 CBS Sports The track's first two turns are banked at twenty-five degrees, while the final two turns are banked two degrees lower at twenty-three degrees.
