    One of the better sporting venues I've been to and I've been to many…read more Great views all along the track. The location feels similar to a music festival but for Nascar fans. The Darlington dog is one of the best hot dogs I've had. Highly recommend.

    This is a Crown Jewel race to win the southern 500. A tract that everyone talks about and a staple…read moreon the NASCAR circuit. Maybe it's because of this, there has been a lack of updating the facility. If you want to know how to move traffic at a race, go to Talladega. They have it down. Pulling in to the main parking on Saturday (yes Saturday not Sunday) was a disaster. The flag guy was chatting with ever car and the line just wasn't moving. Was the slowest park job I have seen. I had premier parking in that direction on Sunday and decided I'd rather pay to park in aomeones yard instead. There was one main restroom on our side of the seating area. Seemed odd but inside was probably 100 urnils to use so I never had to wait, which is a plus. Food vendors were easier to access than expected. Race itswld is a classic. It's a bucket list race for sure. There isn't anywhere to stay around there if you are not camping, SE we ended up staying in Columbia. Little over an hour from the track. Not to bad. TAKE BUG SPRAY! Wow the bugs where bad on Saturday that we left the track to go get bug spray. Yes, that's how bad they where.

    Florence Motor Speedway was just bought out by racing family from Myrtle Beach. They have a lot of…read morethings to improve upon and I look forward to seeing those changes implemented as business picks up and that cash flow leads to changes. I recognize my own bias because it seems like Florida tracks (whether it's Daytona International Speedway for NASCAR or New Smyrna for late models or Volusia for dirt track racing) have spoiled me. I drove up from FL for the SC 400 to see Dale race. This was by far the biggest crowd this place had ever seen and they oversold, so it was standing room only. I managed to get a spot on the bleachers which are in bad need of replacement and paving in the surrounding area. It was very difficult for people to navigate because the seats are so tightly clumped together that knees are in everyones' backs and if you dropped something or it fell into the abyss beneath the bleachers, there was no room to retrieve it. This place obviously does not see this kind of crowd regularly, but these seats are a pain regardless if it's a full house or not. The concessions need more line points, but I did like that alcohol/snacks and food/drinks were separated. They had 2 food trucks on the premesis for this race and I think they should definitely bring in more. Merch area was good but they seemed to be running behind schedule for setting a lot of stuff up, so cars going through the pedestrian area while trying to look at/buy merch was frustrating for both drivers and patrons. A new addition to this track (inevitably purchased due to new ownership or the influx that Dale brought in) was the stage used for driver intros and awards at the end of the night. It seemed flashy and I hope that future investments will be put towards improvements for the fan experience, but I understand that this stage is a great way to obtain sponsorship money and maybe bring in new race fans. Regarding this race in particular, they should make sure that they don't oversell and figure out parking so that cars don't line for incoming road and overflow into surrounding businesses for 1+ mile around.
