Initially only one race was held, but starting in 1984 the track hosted two races per year until 2004 when the track lost its fall weekend date as a result of the realignments caused by the Ferko lawsuit. A realignment in 2015 moved the spring race to the pre-Ferko fall slot. The emergency schedule realignment for 2020 resulted in Darlington regaining its second Xfinity date, which became permanent starting from 2021.

• 1994 Fall and 2002 Fall: Race shortened due to rain.
• 2003 Spring: Race postponed from Saturday to Monday due to rain.
• 2008, 2009, 2012, 2017, both 2021 races and 2023: Races extended due to NASCAR overtime.
• 2019: Cole Custer declared winner after Denny Hamlin was disqualified due to failing inspection.
• 2020 Spring: Race added due to the COVID-19 pandemic schedule changes; postponed from Tuesday to Thursday due to rain.
