The Darlington Stripe is ForeverDarlington Speedway no longer hosts the venerable Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend.   NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation had good reasons for taking that date from the Lady in Black and giving it to California Speedway - or whatever they call the So-Cal track now.

The Rebel 400, Firecracker 400 and Rockingham are gone too, from NASCAR.  The tradition trickles away.

But this past weekend stamped one NASCAR tradition emphatically on the sides of most of the Dodge Challenger 500 field.  The Track Too Tough to Tame still puts her mark on those who want to challenge her.  Long live the Darlington Stripe.
