  • 7. Darlington Raceway Darlington South Carolina
    Darlington Raceway is a race track built for NASCAR racing located near Darlington, South Carolina. It is nicknamed The Lady in Black and The Track Too Tough to Tame by many NASCAR fans and drivers and advertised as A NASCAR Tradition. 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.
