The Best Tracks for Racing Under the Lights

Some tracks were built for night racing. Others just happen to have lights. Here are the ones that actually deliver.

160,000 fans packed around a half-mile track. Under the lights, the concrete glows and the sparks fly. The Bristol Night Race is appointment television every September.

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 in August is pure superspeedway chaos. Pack racing at night with sparks trailing off the pavement. Daytona under the lights hits different.

A .75-mile short track that races tight and aggressive. Spring and fall night races at Richmond have been staples of the NASCAR schedule for decades.

The Southern 500 finishes under the lights during throwback weekend. Retro paint schemes, a punishing track, and a postseason atmosphere make this one of the best nights of the year.
