Time to go old school this weekend with NASCAR as all three series heads to Darlington. Once again, it is throwback weekend for NASCAR. Honestly, it seems that the teams stepped up their throwback schemes this year. Whether you are a fan of throwback weekend or not, it is a notable race on the calendar for all three series. Darlington Raceway is a unique track that challenges drivers throughout the race. In terms of predictions, it will be a bit difficult to pinpoint who will succeed versus who will struggle. Also, IndyCar races this weekend in Indianapolis for the GMR Grand Prix. Another series racing at a classic track, IndyCar fits in nicely with the throwback aesthetic of the weekend. Time to find out the predictions of the Pit Pass Network crew.
