night racing
Darkened track speeds
Night racing is motorsport competition held after dark, typically on illuminated tracks or courses.
The term applies across disciplines—stock cars, drag racing, horse racing—wherever events run under lights rather than daylight.
Night races often carry special appeal: The Bristol night race is one of NASCAR's most anticipated events.
The reduced visibility and cooler temperatures can affect both performance and atmosphere.
