Darlington Raceway is a 1.366-mile (2.198-km) egg-shaped oval located in Darlington, South Carolina. Its tight third and fourth turns often lead cars to pick up what is known as the “Darlington stripe”, caused by the car brushing against the wall coming out of those corners.

The Vaughn American Racing Tour and the ARLA Elite Series visited this track in 2011.

The 2012 ClarTech Darlington Dash, a Formula Overdrive event, was held here. The race was marred by a horrific crash in turn 2 on lap 7, which involved Tanya Carter and Meghan Gallagher, who left the track injured. Hamilton Porteau won the race after it was called on lap 8.

The TM Master Cup Series raced here under the lights in the 2013 season.
