Darlington awaited for 16 of the Cup Series’ finest drivers on Sunday night.
The Southern 500 is one of NASCAR’s most prestigious events, taking place alongside the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Brickyard 400 as one of the Cup Series’ crown jewel races. All victories in NASCAR’s top-flight are worth silver and gold. But few checkered flags mean as much as the one at Darlington Raceway.
David Pearson, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip all hoisted the title before Darlington’s raucous concourse, while recent winners like Erik Jones, Kyle Larson and Chase Briscoe have etched their name into the course’s history.
Who joined those fabled few in the 2025 iteration of the race? Here’s what you need to know about the final results from Saturday’s race at Darlington Raceway.
