Starting Lineup for Darlington 2 (Southern 500)

The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs are here, and we’re getting things started at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night for the annual Southern 500 on Labor Day Weekend. The points have been reset to 2,000 for all Championship-eligible drivers, plus any Playoff points they have accrued throughout the year. We raced here at Darlington back in May, and it was Martin Truex, Jr. who put on a clinic, leading 248 of the 293 laps en route to a dominating victory.
