For the 2024 edition of Darlington Raceway’s annual Throwback weekend, the suggested theme celebrates the humble “Grassroots Racing” roots of the sport. Short tracks, local bullrings, and the unsung early days of stock car culture.

NASCAR teams are answering the call with an incredible array of creative designs paying homage to motorsports’ blue-collar origins. From shoebox Ford coupes to wind-worn dirt track programs, the paint schemes revive classic eras and venues that formed the foundation of today’s national touring series.

The result is a true celebration of grassroots racing across all three NASCAR national series. While a few iconic throwbacks certainly stand out from the pack, the overall display showcases the vibrancy, history, and character that still resonates from racing’s earliest days to its modern spectacle.

This year’s Darlington Throwback promises a true glimpse into the sport’s past while creating new memories in the present. Let’s take a look at some of the standout grassroots-inspired designs that will take to the track next weekend:
