Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 was the name given to the annual spring NASCAR Nextel Cup race held at Darlington Raceway. It began in 1957 as a 300 mile (483 km) race in the Convertible division, known as the Rebel 300. In 1966, the race was expanded to 400 miles (644 km), and in 1973 to 500 miles (805 km). In 1994, the race was returned to 400 miles. Other names include the Mall.com 400 (2000) and the TranSouth Financial 400 (1994-1999).
In 2005, this race and the track's other event, the popular Mountain Dew Southern 500, were removed from the NASCAR Nextel Cup schedule and in its place, the Dodge Charger 500 was inserted. It was run on Saturday night on Mother's Day weekend, and was the only race held at Darlington in 2005.
