Darlington Raceway Expands Family Section for Southern 500

DARLINGTON, S.C. (Jan. 26, 2010) – Darlington Raceway will expand its family section seating for the 2010 Southern 500 announced track President, Chris Browning.

Family sections will now be available on both straight-aways at Darlington Raceway. Wallace grandstand section V on the frontstretch and Colvin grandstand section X on the backstretch will be designated family sections. Each family section will be designated as a non-smoking, non-drinking seating option geared towards families.
