Source-derived summary

Stock car racing events in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series has been held at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina since the series' inaugural season in 1982.

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, except in 2025.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as nASCAR Xfinity Series race. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4835621. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 1984, 2004 and 2015.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
