SC Outcast AC Partners with Viking Motorsports as Primary Sponsor for Darlington Raceway Weekend

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 19, 2026) – The South Carolina Outcast AC, a premier angling club in the Sport Fishing Championship (SFC), announced today a new partnership with Viking Motorsports. The SC Outcast will serve as the primary partner for Viking Motorsports this weekend as the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to the historic Darlington Raceway.

The partnership brings the high-stakes thrill of offshore competitive fishing to the high banks of the track "Too Tough to Tame," uniting two passionate fanbases in the heart of the Palmetto State.

“Seeing the South Carolina Outcast logo and our team colors running at the famed Darlington Raceway is an absolute thrill,” said Stuart Lackey, Captain of the South Carolina Outcast. “Darlington is legendary, and as a team that proudly represents South Carolina on the water, having a presence on the track in front of our home state fans is incredibly special. We’re ready to bring our competitive energy to the NASCAR garage this weekend.”

“We are incredibly excited to partner with the South Carolina Outcast AC, especially as we head into a race weekend in South Carolina,” said Jeremy Lange, General Manager of Viking Motorsports. “Bringing the excitement of the SFC to the racetrack is a unique opportunity. The Outcast team represents the same fierce competitive spirit and relentless drive that we pride ourselves on at Viking Motorsports, and we can't wait to put on a great show for the fans at Darlington.”

SFC is the world’s premier offshore fishing league, featuring a catch-and-release scoring system and broadcasting its competitions live to fans worldwide. The closed format league has rapidly become a major draw for celebrity team owners looking to enter the professional sports landscape, boasting an elite ownership roster that includes NASCAR's Austin Dillon, the World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, LIV Golf pros Talor Gooch and Harold Varner III, NBA star Ben Simmons, NFL running back Raheem Mostert, and country music star Brian Kelley.

Following the action on the track, the South Carolina Outcast will gear up for their highly anticipated home event on the water. The SFC is teaming up with the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum to launch the “SFC Carrier Cup presented by HUK,” taking place May 29-31.

Serving as the ultimate hometown showcase for the SC Outcast, the Carrier Cup will feature a live broadcast originating directly from the flight deck of the historic U.S.S. Yorktown in celebration of the United States’ 250th Anniversary. The weekend will also include a massive fan festival and a live concert dedicated to honoring active and retired military men and women.

“We’re thrilled to work with Viking Motorsports and Blanchard Caterpillar, collaborating with South Carolina Outcast AC to wrap Parker Retzlaff’s No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro,” said Mark Neifeld, Sport Fishing Championship Commissioner and CEO. “NASCAR fans share the same love of the outdoors and support our military as those who follow SFC and its Professional Angling Clubs. It’s exciting to be along for the ride with Parker as he takes on the famous ‘Lady in Black,’ representing South Carolina's home club and one of our largest events of the year.”
