I think your first two are probably the most well known "named" corners.
Can it really be that famous if it isn't named?

There's no such thing as a Daytona or Indianapolis stripe. Darlington's a strange bird, it's the 1st superspeedway, egg shaped, and the fast line is as close to the wall as possible all the way around the track with a little left foot brake on corner exit to keep it out of the wall onto the straight.
I picked turn 4, but it might be turn 2... whichever one is the tighter one... they swapped the front and back straights a while back, and I don't remember if the tighter end is 1-2, or 3-4. Either way, it's so notorious they call it "the Lady in Black".
