DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — The Southern 500 will have a familiar feel, and not just because the race has returned to Labor Day weekend.
Most of the grid for Sprint Cup's next race on Sept. 6 will have throwback paint schemes on their cars, recalling the days when greats like David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and Dale Earnhardt dominated the track "Too Tough To Tame."
At the last Southern 500 in April 2014, Darlington Raceway executives announced a campaign to tap in the track's long history as NASCAR's first superspeedway. Track President Chip Wile said NASCAR teams were eager to participate, bringing out famous machines like the blue-yellow combo No. 17 Hall-of-Famer Pearson ran for Holman Moody four decades ago.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive a blue-and-white Valvoline scheme from the early 1980s run by Yarborough, Neil Bonnett and Buddy Baker. Kyle Larson's No. 42 is dressed up like the classic, Mello Yellow car featured in the NASCAR inspired film, "Days of Thunder."
