Darlington confirms that the Southern 500 will move back outside the Chase in 2027

Darlington Raceway has announced its race dates for the 2027 season. The historic track, which opened in 1950, will again hold a triple-header weekend from April 2-4 with all three national divisions.

However, there is a change for later in the season when NASCAR returns to Darlington for 78th running of the Southern 500. The race will be held on September 5, and preceded by the NASCAR O'Reilly Series on September 4 as part of Labor Day Weekend.
