Joyride will be on-site at Darlington Raceway to offer free golf cart rides to race fans on property. Interested? You'll just need to wave down a Joyride Golf Cart that will be in continuous operation throughout race week starting on Friday through the Cook Out Southern 500 race conclusion on Sunday.

Fans can call Joyride at 833-654-RIDE to request a ride. Calls will not be accepted one hour before each race event starts and one hour after a race event ends due to high volume. Joyride will be available to all campers staying at any Darlington Raceway-owned campground.

Darlington Raceway guest services will also offer free rides for our ADA Guests from the ADA parking lot (outside Gate 39B) to selected locations on property.

NOTE: Please be aware that NASCAR will hold all golf cart activity on property up to one (1) hour after the completion of the race events for that day. This is done to allow pedestrian traffic to exit and to allow the golf carts space to operate safely on property. Once security gives clearance for rides to begin, all Joyride and ADA golf carts will begin post-race operations and continue until all fans that want or need a ride are serviced.
