The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will return to Darington Raceway this year, track officials announced Wednesday. The "Too Tough To Tame" 200 will run under the lights on Saturday, August 14, 2010.

Darlington Raceway president Chris Browning said the historic speedway has been interested in adding a NASCAR Truck Series event to the annual Sprint Cup date on Mother's Day weekend but schedules have not worked out to make that happen. When the Milwaukee date opened up Browning jumped at the opportunity to bring the trucks back to Darlington.

It's going to be a neat deal," said Browning. "Number one, the competition is great. The guys are so hungry and they race so hard. The other is that people in our area can really relate to trucks."

The NASCAR Truck Series had a four year run at the South Carolina facility, from 2001 through 2004. The late Bobby Hamiliton won the 2001 and 2003 truck races at Darlington while Ted Musgrave took the checkers in 2002 and Kasey Kahne got the trophy at the first night race held at the track in 2004.

I think it will be awesome for the Truck Series to go back to Darlington," said Ron Hornaday, the 2009 NASCAR Truck Series champion. "Traditionally, Darlington has been one of those places that have close finishes which the truck series is known for. I'm excited to go there."
