Darlington Schedules Driver Autograph Session

Darlington Raceway is offering its fans an opportunity to participate in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series autograph session with drivers Kevin Harvick, Mark Martin, Paul Menard and defending Bojangles’ Southern 500 champion Regan Smith.

The autograph session will take place on Friday, May 11 from 10-10:30 a.m. in the Darlington Raceway Fan 101 Tent, located in the fan display area behind the frontstretch grandstands.

The autograph session is open to fans that present a ticket to either the NASCAR Nationwide Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 or Sprint Cup Series Bojangles’ Southern 500. An infield camping admission may also be used to attend the autograph session. Each driver will sign one item for each guest and photographs will not be permitted due to limited timing.
