A Darlington Stripe is a driver's rite of passage at South Carolina's iconic race track. The stripe appears on a race car as a driver runs up against the wall and it sucks the car onto it, leaving the right side with a mark -- the Darlington Stripe.

Although if you are following the track around the 3-4 turn, it appears that the concrete wall is
jutting out into the track as you exit turn 4.......excuse makers!

The BS'ers say the wall jumped up and hit them...

Here's Richard Petty's No. 43 with some damage in 1964.
