Darlington Raceway: The Lady in Black

It’s throwback weekend on NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary Tour making its stop at the legendary 1.336-miles of burning asphalt at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina. Last year, Erik Jones took home the victory in September and Joey Logano won the May race. This is the first race at “The Lady in Black” where the track is “Too Tough To Tame” this season and we should be in for a Sunday treat.

The odds on favorite to win today is Kyle Larson +380 but in true DDSN fashion we sniff out higher odds with good chances to cash like a Great white sharks lurking for wounded prey.

Denny Hamlin exhibited a master class in how you finish and win a race last weekend. Denny gave Kyle Larson a love tap to get across the finish line in that #1 spot. There’s no crying in racing but there sure as hell could be punches thrown just ask Noah Gragson. Gragson came at Ross Chastain after he did not like the way Chastain passed him. The Watermelon man let his fists do the talkin’ after he connected with Gragson’s chin with a right hook before the tussle was broken up. Storylines galore at Darlington Raceway and I for one cannot wait for that Green Flag to get us started!

  1. Denny Hamlin +900

  2. Chase Elliott +1100
