The NASCAR Cup Series Southern 500 race weekend at Darlington Raceway begins Saturday with practice and qualifying.
Though the 500-mile race will be long enough to make up positions, the starting spots of wild-card hopefuls Martin Truex Jr., Ty Gibbs, Chris Buescher, Bubba Wallace and Ross Chastain will set the context of what those drivers can earn in Stages 1 and 2.
It could also impact the regular season title race, with Tyler Reddick leading Kyle Larson by 17 points and Chase Elliott by 18.
