The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will race at Darlington this Sunday night. Green flag for the "Bojangles Southern 500" is scheduled for 7:20PM. The race will be televised on NBC. The Darlington race returns to it's traditional Labor Day weekend for the first time since 2003, so everybody's going retro, with throwback paint schemes on the cars, NBC's throwback Peacock logo and the on-air hosts wearing 70s clothing.

Thanks to jayski.com you can check out some of the throwback paint schemes here. My favorite is the #42's Mello Yello paint scheme.

Here's our picks for the race:

Banana Don - Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch

Cindy (for the WITL Nation) - Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick

Chris (for Stephanie) - Kasey Kahne and Dale Jr.
