The bill, H. 4111, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that expresses the belief that NASCAR racing is a crucial component of the state's economy and cultural identity. It recognizes Darlington Raceway on its 75th anniversary season and highlights the significant economic impact of NASCAR events in South Carolina, which exceeds $118 million annually. The resolution emphasizes the importance of NASCAR as a major spectator sport and its role in promoting South Carolina as a tourism destination.
Additionally, the resolution designates the weeks surrounding two NASCAR race weekends in 2025—March 30 through April 6 and August 24 through August 31—as "Darlington Raceway Week," branding them as the official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR. This acknowledgment aims to celebrate the historical significance of Darlington Raceway and its contributions to the sport of stock car racing, while also recognizing the local community's involvement and the economic benefits derived from hosting these events. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to Governor Henry McMaster, NASCAR, and Darlington Raceway.
