COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Get ready for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Officials for the NASCAR track and the fast-food restaurant chain announced the five-year deal Thursday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C. The agreement means Bojangles will be offered at concession stands at the Darlington Raceway. Bojangles' menu is also available at four other tracks owned by International Speedway Corp. -- Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Motor Speedway, Martinsville Raceway and Richmond International Raceway. Darlington president Chris Browning says the agreement brings together two longtime Southern brands. The race had been sponsored by Showtime the past two years. The Bojangles' Southern 500 takes place Saturday, May 12. The Nationwide Series will race at Darlington on Friday, May 11.

Here is the excerpt from the actual Bojangles corporate news release:

Hungry race fans can also look forward to enjoying Bojangles at the track! The sponsorship agreement allows Bojangles to serve its delicious Chicken Supremes, Cajun Filet Sandwich, Seasoned Fries and Legendary Iced Tea at Darlington Raceway. This Bojangles menu will also be served at four other tracks owned and operated by International Speedway Corp.: Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Motor Speedway, Martinsville Raceway and Richmond International Raceway

I think the key phrasing is "allows Bojangles to serve."

I feel certain this will be under the supervision of Americrown, just as they were forced to bring back the Jesse Jones red dogs at Martinsville after Americrown took over.

BoJangles is good. And is a better suiting sponsor that "Shomax" or "Shotime" what ever it was.

To add to that, our local Bojangles is next door to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame! Don't eat there a whole lot, but it's pretty good! Glad to see it sponsor the Southern 500
