Darlington Raceway History Tour! Inside Forgotten Details of NASCAR's Most Unique Track

What happens here

The tour continues past the old Goodyear and Unocal buildings, constructed in 1973. These structures were part of a larger complex that included a cafeteria and new garages, built to support race day operations. While their original purposes have changed, they remain as historical landmarks within the infield.

Goal: Identify and discuss the historical infield buildings.

What they say

Hide

just buy tickets to come in there. Is that like the old uh fuel building? That's the old Goodyear building. Okay. That's the old Goodyear building right there. You had you had Unical Building. You had Goodyear building. That was UniCow. That was Goodyear. That's it. They were both right here together. Yep. Square bricks. Were those original structures too? Yes. So that's the original infield care center also. That's it. That's exactly right. So they called for the doctor to come down. They have brought him to the care center. Now we understand they've sent for an ambulance, but right now Dale Nhard is in the infield care center being checked out. That was the original and then eventually they built another care center down here. Um and then it was torn down and now there's a new care center there too. But but so so right here we we'll go out there. Yeah, let's go there and look at that. I don't want to see the old holes for the timing equipment and everything. See, this used to be the cup garage. Now, this is used by the Infinity series. It might sound like a broken record, but I think it's so awesome that none of this um original structures were taken down. They just stayed there.
