Matt Kenseth picked up his first top 10 in four races at Darlington, but was that enough for a spot in Kristen Valus' Hot or Not?

There is a reason that Darlington is the Track Too Tough to Tame, but DW says some drivers were able to leave their mark.

Kyle Busch may have dominated Darlington, but one look at the numbers tells Jorge Mondaca the Hendrick juggernaut is back.

Carl Edwards may not have led at Darlington, but his runner-up finish has him surging in Gerrit Ritt's Fantasy 50 rankings.

Greg Biffle certainly didn't sound like a guy committed to Roush Fenway Racing when he blasted the faulty equipment that led to his last-place finish at Darlington Raceway.

"Have you seen this?" Darlington Raceway president Chris Browning asks before carefully unfolding the creased sheet he took out of his right front pocket. The page shows a drawing of modern garages and a reshaped infield, a dream unlikely to happen five years ago. That was when NASCAR head, the late Bill France Jr., decreed that Darlington was among the Sprint Cup venues that risked closure because of fading attendance and crumbling atmosphere.
