Darlington Raceway Getting an Upgrade

South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway is getting a multi-million dollar upgrade. Nearly 7 million dollars will be used to improve seating in three of its main grandstands. The project will impact nearly 60 percent of the 58,000 seats at Nascar’s oldest super speedway. Darlington president, Kerry Tharp, says the project begins today and will be completed well before the southern 500 is run on September 2nd. The construction is the track’s biggest capital expenditure since spending $10 million to re-pave its surface and construct a new infield access tunnel in 2008.
