Pole-sitter Tyler Reddick led Brad Keselowski and the rest of the field to the green flag.
Kyle Larson took over the lead from Ty Gibbs with 8 laps to go in Stage One and held on for the win.
Thanks to having chosen the first pit stall, Reddick restarted Stage Two with the lead on lap 99.
The caution came out for John Hunter Nemechek as he spun and blew a tire on the frontstretch on lap 121.
The caution came out quickly again off the restart lap 129, William Byron and Ryan Blaney squeezed Martin Truex Jr. in the middle but it put Blaney in the wall with enough damage to end his day early.
Zane Smith went around and into the inside wall on the frontstretch bringing out another caution on lap 164.
Reddick won Stage Two.
Kyle Larson spun out with a flat tire, bringing out a caution at lap 254.
Chris Buescher made it a three-car battle for the lead with Reddick and Keselowski with 31 laps to go.
With 29 to go, Buescher took the lead, taking the front two three-wide.
In a Hail Mary move, Tyler Reddick got into Buescher along the turn three wall, attempting to slide up ahead of him. Doing so forced both of them to have to pit for flat tires, handing Keselowski the lead.
Brad Keselowski held off a late charge by Ty Gibbs to win the Goodyear 400 throwback race at Darlington, snapping his 110-race winless streak.
