Darlington Goodyear 400 to Test New Short-Track Aero, Promising Wild Racing
With a new short-track aero package delivering roughly 750 hp and less downforce, the Goodyear 400 at Darlington is expected to produce chaotic, high-horsepower racing on the abrasive 1.366-mile track. Tire management will be crucial, as teams have only 11 tire sets for the 293-lap race, and drivers like Denny Hamlin predict wild action. The field also includes a lineup change with Alex Bowman out due to vertigo and Justin Allgaier stepping in for him at Darlington, Martinsville and Bristol.
