Darlington Raceway is hosting a Goodyear tire test session for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on June 5–6. The test is free and open to the public, giving fans the opportunity to see NASCAR’s stars race around the high banks of the track “Too Tough To Tame.”

Drivers currently scheduled to participate in the Goodyear tire test are Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray, Paul Menard and Daniel Suarez.

Darlington Raceway will open one section of the Colvin Grandstands on the backstretch of the track for fans to watch the test throughout the day. Fans must enter through Gate 3 off Highway 151. The parking lot is located next to the track’s administration building.

Fans can also get pictures taken with Darlington’s Chevy Impala pace car, which will be located next to the ticket office.

The Darlington gift shop and stock car museum will be open from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day. An adult admission price for the museum will be $5 for those days only.

Times of the test and driver participation are subject to change by Goodyear, weather permitting.

The test comes ahead of the Bojangles’ Southern 500, as well as the NASCAR XFINITY Series Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200, on Labor Day weekend.
