The push for a night race came after Sprint All-Star Race VIII ran at night. Fans complained to track management after immense heat at the 600 to run it at night for cooler conditions. It can be very humid in the Charlotte area during that time of the year.

That's because it was like watching paint dry.

Putting the race at night was a great idea, and it has paid off for NASCAR and the Speedway. Just this year, the year of the rain delay, it didn't work.
