The Palmetto Nationals is entering into our 5th year running at the legendary Darlington Dragway. If you have never raced at this track before, you will be impressed. Darlington Dragway is one of the best dragstrips around when it comes to track surface & race prep. Test -n- Tune runs will be available on Friday night before racing starts on Saturday.

The Palmetto Nationals has featured some of the best drag racing seen in one place on the East Coast. Some of the racers that have attended our event are the Quick 8 Outlaws, the Dixie Outlaw Door Slammers, Drag Racers Association of Florence, Palmetto Drag Racers Association, Southern Drag Racers Association and many more. Our goal is to present a race program that fans will be interested in watching and racers will want to participate in. We are committed to putting as much money back into the race purse as we can. There will be plenty of racing on this weekend. Don't worry, Darlington Dragway carries plenty of VP fuel & deep fried turkey legs.

Overnight stay is available inside the track's infield all weekend. Infield gates will open at 3pm on Friday for all racers & car show participants to come and setup. TNT sessions begin around 5pm. Infield gates will be closed around 11pm Friday night. Gates will re-open Saturday at 7am and remain open until Sunday. Click here for more details on track & area lodging.
