New Larger, More Comfortable Chairback Seats Installed in Pearson Tower Prior to the Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR on May 12-14
DARLINGTON, S.C. (Feb. 10, 2023) – As Darlington Raceway continues to enhance its fan experience, historic Pearson Tower has been undergoing an off-season project to install new modern seats prior to NASCAR’s return for the Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR on May 12-14. Pearson Tower’s new larger, more comfortable stadium-style chairback seats with cup holders will enhance the look and feel of the historic track for fans in attendance.
“Darlington Raceway has one of the best pure race experiences in motorsports, but we are always looking for ways to enhance our fan experience,” said Kerry Tharp, Darlington Raceway President. “We look forward to welcoming fans back to the renovated Pearson Tower for the Official Throwback Weekend of NASCAR.”
A limited number of the historic seats from Pearson Tower will be made available for fans to purchase from Pearson Tower. There are varying quantities of single chairs, double chairs and set of four chairs available for purchase. Prices for single chairs are $50 and double chairs are $90. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Darlington Shares, a donor advised fund of The NASCAR Foundation.
