Darlington Raceway Sold Out For 74th Cook Out Southern 500

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Darlington Raceway announced today that the grandstands are sold out for the 74th running of the Cook Out Southern 500.

Infield RV camping and suites are also sold out for the crown jewel event that caps Labor Day Weekend presented by Crown Royal.

“There are no words that properly express the gratitude my team and I have for the overwhelming support shown by our fans,” said Darlington Raceway Kerry Tharp, who is retiring at the end of the year. “They continue to prove they have the Too Tough to Tame spirit that is the lifeblood of our facility, and we can’t wait to celebrate the start of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs with them tonight.”

This marks the third consecutive Cook Out Southern 500 sellout without pandemic restrictions. It also marks the 10th sellout of the NASCAR Cup Series season.
