I feel like the one throwback Darlington still does too well is not keep good sponsors. Bojangles having been around for the Mother's Day, Spring and the Throwback Era Southern 500 is as telling as Mountain Dew being around as long for the Southern 500. Bojangles had a lot with saving the track from certain deletion.
Other than Pepsico being Sponsor for 12 Years, what is heavy is Darlington has never put the Truck Series on Labor Day Weekend. I'd actually root having IndyCar at Darlington because it would give them a chance at a Season Slate rather than spending gobs of time preparing until there is nothing left.
Independent ARCA has run its Course, and I'd feel that finding a Serious Sponsor in a Serious Market is difficult. Even though I'd admit it would be tough for Ken Squier to talk about Friends and Seinfield, but, we would have had a Stuffy Southern 500 Booth otherwise and I doubt ABC/ESPN would have incentive to redouble Motorsports Coverage other than as a wedge.
Even if we went Busta Rhymes on Nas's "Fried Chicken" on his N Album, we couldn't have saved the Sponsorship or kept the race from being the Carolina 500 as a bid to deter the Silly Silo of the Roval. Other than getting silly on the Monster Energy Cup Years, I'd sense that having now 1..2..3..4..5..6 Rookie of the Year Candidates and hopefully the 1st 5 or More Rookie of the Year Candidates Finishing Since 2006 would matter.
Will the Lady be a Diamond in Black? I would not want to see a Rival Company fill the gates that Bojangles saved because that would be sacrilegious and I wouldn't want a Rival Company fill Food City's Billing at Bristol.
