This coming weekend NASCAR heads to one of its historical tracks at Darlington in South Carolina for the Southern 500.
To celebrate the race heading back to its traditional Memorial Day weekend just about every car in the field will run ‘throwback’ liveries.
The liveries are a combination of historical celebrations of drivers, teams and sponsors.
The look will extend to race suits and crew uniforms with fans set to mark the weekend with a range of merchandise including diecast models set to run out.
Many teams have gone to great lengths including Michael Waltrip Racing who will field a fully handpainted car for Clint Bowyer.
NASCAR itself has also turned back the clock and will use an old logo for the race weekend.
Here is a handful of videos released by teams and sponsors ahead of this weekend’s race at ‘The Track Too Tough To Tame’.
