The Tyler Tower is located above the Wallace grandstand so while the rows may seem low, you are actually above another grandstand. You have an excellent view of the pits from these seats. You are directly across from the pits and have a great view of the entire track. Darlington Raceway did some recent enhancements to the Tyler Tower to create a better view and experience for the race fans.
The Pearson Tower in Turn 4 is an elevated grandstand, so even the lowest rows have excellent views. The entire track can be seen from these seats and you are across from the entrance of pit road so you have a great view of the latter half of pit road. There is a great view of cars coming through turn 4 and the entrance of pit road and entire track.
The Brasington Tower is an elevated grandstand in Turn 1 and the newest Tower at the track, constructed in 2005. This Tower is also closest to the motorcoach parking area. The entire track can be seen from these seats and there is an excellent view of the cars as they race off Pit Road and race into Turn 1.

Darlington Raceway
In 1949 a man by the name of Harold Brasington began the realization of creating his dream by starting construction of Darlington Raceway in what was then a peanut and cotton procucing field. This superspeedway plan, originally designed as a perfect oval, soon underwent a design change to satisfy the landowner's (Sherman Ramsey) wish for his nearby minnow pond not be disturbed. Because of this change of narrowing the West end of the track, Darlington Raceway gained its very distinctive egg-shaped design known by all race fans alike.
Labor Day weekend 1950 played host to the very first race at Darlington Raceway, the Southern 500, and the stands designed for 10,000 fans overflowed with more than 25,000 fans. During this six hour race, tire wear became a huge issue spurring Darlington's nickname, the track "too tough to tame." Since the mid 1990's Darlington Raceway has underwent renovations and additions as well as a 10 million dollar track repaving effort.
2015 marked the return of the Southern 500 to Labor Day weekend, and Darlington officially became titled the "Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR." Race teams ran old school vintage paint schemes in honor of the history of the track and the sport. This celebration will return again this year to the delight of many race fans.

You are an outstanding travel service. Having taken many trips as a high school band director I took numerous trips with a large group.

TABA proved to be a professional. well organized organization. Our tour guide was personable and efficient. The paperwork side of things went quickly and smoothly. Amenities were perfect. Transportation was great. Our accommodations were wonderful. Both race day experiences were fantastic. It was our first time travelling with TABA after our regular company was no longer in business.

Booking the tour is an easy process from the website. The hardest decision when booking the trip is deciding which hotel to stay at when there are several choices. The tour guides have all been very friendly and approachable when assistance was needed. Highly recommend and will use TABA in the future!
