The Southern 500 is largely considered one of the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Slam_(NASCAR)#The_Grand_Slam" class="mw-redirect" title="Grand Slam (NASCAR)">Crown Jewels</a> of the NASCAR calendar, and has been nicknamed NASCAR's "oldest superspeedway race." For decades, the race has been considered by competitors and media as one of the more difficult and challenging races on the NASCAR schedule, owing much to the track's unusual, asymmetrical egg-shape, rough pavement, and overall unforgiving nature. Darlington Raceway itself has a long and storied reputation as the "Track Too Tough to Tame." </p><p>The Southern 500 has a storied history, including <a href="/wiki/Bill_Elliott" title="Bill Elliott">Bill Elliott</a> famously winning the <a href="/wiki/Grand_Slam_(NASCAR)" class="mw-redirect" title="Grand Slam (NASCAR)">Winston Million</a> in <a href="/wiki/1985_NASCAR_Winston_Cup_Series" title="1985 NASCAR Winston Cup Series">1985</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Gordon" title="Jeff Gordon">Jeff Gordon</a> doing the same in <a href="/wiki/1997_NASCAR_Winston_Cup_Series" title="1997 NASCAR Winston Cup Series">1997</a>.

In 2004, the Southern 500 was moved to November and was run as the second-to-last race in the inaugural <a href="/wiki/NASCAR_playoffs" title="NASCAR playoffs">Chase for the Championship</a>.

Pearson edged young driver <a href="/wiki/Bill_Elliott" title="Bill Elliott">Bill Elliott</a> for the win, his 104th career Winston Cup Grand National win.</li> <li><b>1980:</b> Once again Waltrip and Pearson were keys to a shocking Southern 500; this time Waltrip, embroiled in a contract fight with <a href="/wiki/DiGard_Motorsports" title="DiGard Motorsports">DiGard Racing</a>, led 196 laps from the pole while Pearson once again had to make up a lap, this time driving <a href="/wiki/Hoss_Ellington" title="Hoss Ellington">Hoss Ellington</a>'s Chevrolet. But a timing chain broke on Waltrip, ending his race 39 laps from the finish. <a href="/wiki/Benny_Parsons" title="Benny Parsons">Benny Parsons</a> grabbed the lead while Pearson got back on the lead lap. A late yellow for <a href="/wiki/Cale_Yarborough" title="Cale Yarborough">Cale Yarborough</a> (who'd had a miserable day with a fuel fire and several earlier spins) set up a five-lap shootout between Parsons, Pearson, and <a href="/wiki/Dale_Earnhardt" title="Dale Earnhardt">Dale Earnhardt</a>; Pearson took the lead on the restart, Earnhardt passed on Lap 364 but Pearson retook the lead on that same lap, but with two to go all three leaders crashed, in Turn, One on oil from a backmarker; Pearson limped to the line, but <a href="/wiki/Terry_Labonte" title="Terry Labonte">Terry Labonte</a> caught and swung past at the white flag, grabbing his first career win.</li> <li><b>1982:</b> The most competitive running of the Southern 500 took place as the lead changed 41 times among 17 drivers. <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Allison" title="Bobby Allison">Bobby Allison</a> in the #88 led 88 laps before breaking, while <a href="/wiki/Darrell_Waltrip" title="Darrell Waltrip">Darrell Waltrip</a> in <a href="/wiki/Junior_Johnson" title="Junior Johnson">Junior Johnson</a>'s Buick led 23 laps before blowing his engine.

Intermittent rain pushed the four-hour contest to darkness.

Rookie sensation <a href="/wiki/Davey_Allison" title="Davey Allison">Davey Allison</a> won the pole and led 86 laps but crashed in Turn Four at Lap 164; the crash swept up <a href="/wiki/Lake_Speed" title="Lake Speed">Lake Speed</a> while <a href="/wiki/Mike_Potter_(racing_driver)" title="Mike Potter (racing driver)">Mike Potter</a> spun behind them and was drilled by <a href="/wiki/Benny_Parsons" title="Benny Parsons">Benny Parsons</a>.</li> <li><b>1988:</b> A classic three-way battle between <a href="/wiki/Bill_Elliott" title="Bill Elliott">Bill Elliott</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rusty_Wallace" title="Rusty Wallace">Rusty Wallace</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Dale_Earnhardt" title="Dale Earnhardt">Dale Earnhardt</a> who led a combined 289 of the 367 laps.

With rain approaching the area, the leaders cycled through a series of pit stops around lap 292, but a scant handful of drivers stayed out.

Most notably, the race was rescheduled to its traditional Labor Day date. As part of this return to tradition, the race was dubbed a 'throwback weekend', and the majority of teams entered into the race drove cars with retro paint jobs based on classic paint schemes used in the 1970s and 1980s. Also, retro-style ads were placed on the outside walls, and part of the race was called by former NASCAR broadcasters <a href="/wiki/Ken_Squier" title="Ken Squier">Ken Squier</a> and father and son <a href="/wiki/Ned_Jarrett" title="Ned Jarrett">Ned</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dale_Jarrett" title="Dale Jarrett">Dale Jarrett</a>. The race also utilized a new experimental rules package that took away downforce from the car. The new package resulted in a very intense race, which saw a record-breaking 18 caution flags, leading to the average green flag run only being about 14.7 laps long. <a href="/wiki/Carl_Edwards" title="Carl Edwards">Carl Edwards</a> rallied back from two laps down to overtake <a href="/wiki/Brad_Keselowski" title="Brad Keselowski">Brad Keselowski</a> and take his second win of the
