It\"s throwback weekend at Darlington, and after analyzing practice data, I\"ve stumbled on a bit of a throwback driver to bet for Sunday\"s Goodyear 400 (3 p.m. ET, FS1). Current NASCAR odds for Darlington have five drivers a tier above everyone else as the favorites.

The NASCAR Cup Series is in for a long day of wrestling with the 1.366-mile egg-shaped Darlington Raceway on Sunday in the Goodyear 400. William Byron is on the pole, with Ryan Preece starting a season-best second on Sunday.

William Byron won the pole for the Goodyear 400 in qualifying on Saturday, earning his second pole of the season and his first at Darlington since the 2019 Southern 500.
