DARLINGTON, S.C. – Darlington Raceway and the South Carolina Education Lottery announce a partnership on the presenting rights to the traditional Labor Day Race Weekend on Sept. 4-5.

“The South Carolina Education Lottery has been making an impact in the lives of students since 2002, so we are proud to welcome them as the presenting sponsor of the traditional Darlington Raceway Labor Day Race Weekend presented by the South Carolina Education Lottery,” said Darlington President Kerry Tharp. “As part of the sponsorship, we will continue to work together to support the South Carolina Education Lottery’s mission to enhance education across the Palmetto State.”

“We are thrilled to grow our partnership with Darlington Raceway by lending our name to the Labor Day Race Weekend,” said the Lottery’s Director of Marketing Josh Whiteside. “We are looking forward to an incredible weekend of racing and the opportunity to share with racing fans the real and lasting impact the Lottery is having on education in South Carolina.”

The South Carolina Education Lottery has transferred more than $6.6 billion to education. While the Lottery is not responsible for deciding which programs are funded with lottery proceeds, more than 2.1 million scholarships and grants have been awarded to hardworking South Carolina students since 2002.
