Edwards found the new car to be faster and racers should expect better handling and tighter racing when the circuit returns to NASCAR’s oldest super speedway for the Southern 500 on May 11.

Truex Jr. said he is confident a driver will shatter Darlington’s record qualifying speed of 181.254 mph set by Kasey Kahne at the 2011 race.
