Stock car racing
events in the
NASCAR Xfinity Series
has been held at
Darlington Raceway
in
Darlington, South Carolina
since the series' inaugural season in
1982
. Currently, the track hosts two races for the series: the
Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200
in the spring (on the same weekend as the
NASCAR Cup Series
'
Goodyear 400
) and the
Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200
in the fall (on the same weekend as the Cup Series'
Southern 500
). Both races are 200 miles (320 km) in distance.
Initially only one race was held, but starting in 1984 the track hosted two races per year until 2004 when the track lost its fall weekend date as a result of the realignments caused by the
Ferko lawsuit
. A realignment in 2015 moved the spring race to the pre-Ferko fall slot. The emergency schedule realignment for 2020 resulted in Darlington regaining its second Xfinity date, which became permanent starting from 2021.
