The race, which this year is Sept. 2, continues a recent tradition of a throwback theme.
Wallace won the Cup Series title in 1989 and the following year drove the No. 27 to two wins at Charlotte and Sonoma for owner Raymond Beadle.
Beginning in 1991, Wallace drove the No. 2 for owner Roger Penske until the end of Wallace’s full-time driving career in 2005.
This will be the fourth year of the annual throwback program at “too tough to tame” Darlington, with this year’s slogan celebrating NASCAR’s 70th anniversary: “Seven Decades of NASCAR.”
