The wait is finally over!

Starting today, tickets for Darlington Raceway’s NASCAR Nationwide Series 200 and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bojangles’ Southern 500 on May 10-11, 2013, are on sale to the public.

“It was great to see Jimmie Johnson win the 2012 Bojangles’ Southern 500 which earned team owner Rick Hendrick his 200^th career cup victory.
