NASCAR at Darlington live race updates, results, highlights from the Southern 500 - Sporting News

The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs begin at Darlington Raceway on Sunday with the Cook Out Southern 500.

Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin enter the postseason with a sizable points lead, and the duo split this year's regular-season races at Darlington in May. But even they cannot let up over next three races, when the top 16 drivers will be trimmed down to 12 and rivals try to cut their advantage over the pack.

Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch and Matt DiBenedetto are outside of the top 12 right now and fighting to move upward and stay alive.

Sporting News is tracking live updates and lap-by-lap highlights from Sunday's NASCAR race at Darlington. Follow below for complete results from the Cook Out Southern 500.

NASCAR race start time today

The green flag for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington will wave shortly after 6 p.m. ET, assuming there are no rain delays as there have been so often since NASCAR returned to live racing in May.

This start time typically creates a unique challenge for drivers at Darlington. The late-summer South Carolina heat makes for a slick race track that evolves as the day turns into night and the conditions get cooler. Mid-race adjustments will be key for that reason.

Darlington Raceway obviously has lights, so a weather delay could push the race into the late hours of Sunday and early hours of Monday.

Sunday night's race is is one of the longest time-wise of the Cup Series season. It is scheduled for 367 laps (501.3 miles) and needs to reach the halfway point to be considered official in the event of weather issues.
