NASCAR at Darlington spring 2023: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Goodyear 400
Following an exciting race at Kansas Speedway that saw a bump of the leader before a last-lap pass for the win ‒not to mention a fight on pit road ‒ the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway for a Mother’s Day race.
Fresh off his fifth top-five finish of the season and a post-race dustup with Noah Gragson, Ross Chastain emerged as the points leader through 12 races while angering yet another driver. Denny Hamlin, meanwhile, earned his first win of the season a week ago and heads to Darlington as the active driver with the most wins (four) at the legendary South Carolina track.
But one driver who must be ecstatic to hit Darlington is Erik Jones. The Legacy Motor Club driver has struggled so far this season with only two top-10 finishes in 12 races, but he has scored two of his three career Cup wins at the track that has long been called “Too Tough To Tame.”
