The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will return to the track on Saturday night in the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.
Brad Keselowski held off Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth last time out en route to taking the checkered flag in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle rounded out the top five drivers at Talladega, with Clint Bowyer, David Ragan, Trevor Bayne, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jeff Burton making up the rest of the Top 10 in the Aaron's 499.
After 10 races Biffle now holds a seven-point lead on Kenseth and a nine-point advantage on Earnhardt Jr. in the driver standings. Denny Hamlin, who ended up 23rd at Talladega, is fourth in the current standings.
Regan Smith won the Southern 500 last season, while Jeff Gordon leads all active drivers with seven career Cup wins on the track.
Biffle, Burton, Jimmie Johnson, and Mark Martin each have two Cup wins at Darlington, and Hamlin and Busch have both won there once.
After competing at Darlington this weekend the drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will move on to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the circuit's annual All-Star Race on May 19.
