DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Wednesday the addition of Darlington Raceway to the 2010 Camping World Truck Series schedule.

The Aug. 14 Too Tough To Tame 200 replaces an event at The Milwaukee Mile on the 25-race schedule and marks the series' return to the 1.366-mile South Carolina track that hosted four races between 2001 and 2004.

"Our fans have asked us to bring back the Truck Series because Darlington is a perfect fit for the tough racing the series offers," Darlington Raceway president Chris Browning said. "We are excited to be able to bring back the trucks in 2010 and look forward to putting on a memorable show for all of our fans."

Truck Series champions Bobby Hamilton and Ted Musgrave are among previous series winners at Darlington Raceway -- Hamilton winning twice in 2001 and 2003. Cup Series star Kasey Kahne won the series' final appearance at Darlington in 2004.

"It's awesome to return to one of NASCAR's oldest tracks," Truck Series director Wayne Auton said. "There will be a full day of racing since this is a one-day show. The fans definitely will get their money's worth."

The single-day schedule features practice, qualifying and a 200-mile, 147-lap race beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
