qglover+FollowDarlington Throwback Weekend No Longer MandatoryBig news for NASCAR Nation: the iconic throwback paint schemes at Darlington are no longer a must for every team starting in 2026. While the Lady in Black will still honor its legendary past with parades and alumni, teams now have the choice to run tribute liveries—or not. This move comes after last year’s Goodyear 400 saw only half the field sporting throwbacks, and some fans weren’t thrilled with the execution. Is this the right call for the sport’s future? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share
