The NASCAR Cup Series takes on Darlington Raceway for one of two races there this season, the Goodyear 400.

There will be familiar throwback paint schemes throughout the field, including Chase Elliott honoring his father by running a similar scheme and number pattern as Bill Elliott's No. 9 Dodge in the early 2000s.

Last week in Kansas, the 2023 season got a much-needed jolt with the best race finish of the season and the punchiest post race of the year. Denny Hamlin nudged Kyle Larson en route to a last-lap pass and a victory at Kansas Speedway in an intense battle during the final run.

And during a postrace pit road interaction, Ross Chastain punched Noah Gragson after a few words between the two following some bumping during the final stage. Others stepped in between the two drivers before things got further out of hand.

Now comes The Track Too Tough to Tame. Here's what you need to know about Sunday's race:
