Stock car racing events in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series has been held at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina since the series' inaugural season in 1982.

Initially only one race was held, but starting in 1984 the track hosted two races per year until 2004 when the track lost its fall weekend date as a result of the realignments caused by the Ferko lawsuit. A realignment in 2015 moved the spring race to the pre-Ferko fall slot. The emergency schedule realignment for 2020 resulted in Darlington regaining its second Xfinity date, which became permanent starting from 2021, except in 2025.

Fall race

The Fleetio 200 has been held on occasion since 1983. The race is held on the weekend of the NASCAR Cup Series' Southern 500. Sheldon Creed is the defending winner of the event in 2026.

History The original running of this race was held in 1983 as a race in order to meet South Carolina's blue laws, since the Southern 500 was held on Monday, that required race distances to be scheduled for at least 250 miles (184 laps). The race was sponsored by Sport Clips and the VFW (after sponsoring the spring race) from 2015–2024, under different names. In 2025, the race was taken off the schedule before being added on for 2026, with Fleetio taking the sponsorship rights.
