The vintage logo will appear on the May 12-14 weekend this year, with the Tire Sidewalls sporting the Goodyear vintage Wingfoot logo from 1898. Celebrating the tire manufacturer's alliance with NASCAR along with alligning with the sport's 75th anniversary, Darlington Raceway will be a treat for fans who love some authentic liveries.

Stu Grant, general manager at Goodyear Global Race Tires, spoke about the forthcoming weekend and said:

"It’s exciting to be a part of this special weekend and acknowledge the distinctive relationship that two storied organizations like NASCAR and Goodyear share. The unique, first-of-its kind sidewall design is a fitting tribute to our remarkable history together and our shared passion for motorsports.”

In addition to being NASCAR's and Goodyear's 75th and 125th anniversary, the throwback weekend Cup Series race is also sponsored by the tire manufacturer. The Goodyear 400 will see 3500 vintage-sidewalled tires across all three nationwide series of the sport, with paint schemes remindful of the sport's past. The 2023 Goodyear 400 goes live on May 14 at 3:00 pm ET.
