NASCAR 2022: Five liveries to look out for the throwback weekend at Darlington Speedway

'The Lady in Black' will be the hostess this weekend for the NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400. The track, often also referred to as 'Too Tough to Tame,' might have multiple names but brings one single thing for the fans: great racing.

Darlington Raceway is situated in the city of Darlington, South Carolina. The Palmetto State track is all set to witness full capacity after the previous year's COVID-19 precautions forced the races to be held without spectators.

Last year, Martin Truex Jr. proved his mettle's worth at the 1.36-mile-long oval with a victory for Joe Gibbs Racing. The No. 19 Toyota Camry TRD driver will be looking to get stuck in this weekend in a similar fashion.

Best of all, the Goodyear 400 at Darlington brings a NASCAR tradition back to life in 2022 as teams adorn their cars in liveries reminiscent of the past.

The throwback weekend, as it's called, sees the cars adopt one-off paint schemes for just one race to commemorate stock car racing's southern roots.
