The Darlington Stripe Zone is a pre-race party package that gives race fans the chance to walk down pit road, grab a bite to eat and watch interviews with NASCAR personalities before the big Showtime Southern 500 gets underway. This package includes appetizers, dinner buffet, beer tickets, live entertainment, official program, track souvenir and the chance to win prizes. In addition to this pre-race party package reserved parking is available for the entire NASCAR race weekend.
