The Darlington Best In Show fan vote is underway, and we have some early returns to share.
As Darlington Raceway celebrates NASCAR’s history with its second of four planned throwback weekends for this year’s Bojangles’ Southern 500 (6 p.m. ET Sept. 4, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), fans are voting on their favorite paint schemes honoring drivers and paint schemes of yore.
The top 10 vote-getters up until now are, in alphabetical order: AJ Allmendinger, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Casey Mears, David Ragan, Tony Stewart and Martin Truex Jr.
The top five fan vote getters’ paint schemes will be presented to a panel of NASCAR Hall of Fame members, who will make the final selection. The award for the Best Throwback Paint Scheme will be presented to the winning team and driver prior to the Bojangles’ Southern 500.
