In a week of contrasts that featured the unveiling of NASCAR s sleek Next Gen Cup Series cars, Darlington Raceway hosts its immensely popular Throwback Weekend, where race teams pay homage to the past.
But while race fans will see a panoply of paint schemes dedicated to bygone heroes of the sport, drivers will be looking ahead toward the finish line particularly those accustomed to winning who haven t done so yet this year.
At the top of that list are Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott, who haven t scratched the win column during the first 11 NASCAR Cup Series events of the 2021 season. Those three drivers combined to win 21 of the 36 points races last year 58.33 percent of the schedule.
