DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Monuments honoring the careers of Cale Yarborough and Darrell Waltrip have been added to the Darlington Legends Walk behind the Tyler tower grandstand behind the frontstretch.

Each marker is made of granite and marble, resembles a Goodyear racing tire and old style pit board and weighs nearly 2,300 pounds.

"Adding Cale and Darrell to the Darlington Legends Walk is the perfect way to honor their respective careers at Darlington Raceway," track president Chris Browning said.

"We hope fans enjoy reading about Cale and Darrell's careers at Darlington Raceway and reminiscing about their place in history at Darlington."

Yarborough won five times at Darlington and also had 11 top-five finishes and 17 top-10s in 49 races.

Waltrip also had five wins in 55 starts, including 18 top-five finishes and 23 top-10s.

The markers for Yarborough and Waltrip join the Legends Walk that includes track founder Harold Brasington, driver David Pearson, Bill Elliott's historic Winston Million victory and the 2003 finish between Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch.
