Toyota 500 runs tonight at Darlington

NASCAR is getting ready to hold its first Wednesday race in 36 years, as it will hold the Toyota 500 this evening at Darlington Raceway three days after the sport got back to racing after 10 weeks away. The last Wednesday race came on July 4, 1984 at Daytona International Speedway. That race, the Firecracker 400, was the 200th win of Richard Petty’s career. The Xfinity race was postponed by rain last night and will now be run Thursday at noon.
