Bojangles' Southern 500
The Bojangles' Southern 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina, United States. The race distance is long, and consists of 367 laps. From 1950 to 2003, the race was held on Labor Day weekend. During this period, Darlington held two Cup series races annually, the other a 400-mile event in the spring, and the Southern 500 was largely considered one of the Crown Jewels of the NASCAR calendar.
In 2004, the race was moved to November and was run as the second to last race in the inaugural Chase for the NEXTEL Cup. The following year, as the result of a settlement in the Ferko lawsuit, Darlington lost its September race date and chose to move the 500 mile race distance to its remaining date. The 500 was renamed for the sponsorship of Dodge and was moved to Mother's Day weekend in May. The race was run on a Saturday night during this period.
The event reassumed the Southern 500 name in 2009. In 2014, the race moved to April after swapping dates with Kansas Speedway. NASCAR announced that the Southern 500 would be returning to its traditional Labor Day weekend date for 2015, replacing Atlanta Motor Speedway as the host of the Labor Day weekend event (Atlanta's race, meanwhile, was moved into the early portion of the season).
Carl Edwards is the defending winner of the race, after winning it in 2015.
