Darlington Raceway is one of the most historic and challenging racetracks in the sport, and NASCAR and Darlington are teaming to honor drivers with classic paint schemes.

This is the third straight year that Darlington and NASCAR have teamed to display older paint schemes, and this year's theme is honoring legends from 1985-1989.

Joseph Wolkin of Front Stretch said it's important for NASCAR to pay tribute to those who helped pave the way for current driver.

"No matter what the sport is, it is incredibly important to pay tribute to those who helped make it what it is today," Wolkin wrote. "If one takes a look at baseball, football, basketball or hockey, you will see a plethora of throwback jerseys, showcasing an era for an organization that included plenty of success."
