I am really ok with lights. Just don't move the 500. Then when it rains all morning, we might have a chance to see the race that night. Plain and simple, the only way the local tracks are going to bring in nascar fans is to HIRE nascar drivers to run at there track that week.

I do not see them installing lights any time soon. Not only would it be a huge investment, but you would have to light walkways and under roofs of grandstands. Plus a large amount of parking is off public streets and yards. As for helping short tracks NASCAR fans only watch cup races. They wouldn't go any where else in significant numbers. With daylight saving time they could almost run in prime time with out them.

Just remember that change and progress are not necessarily the same thing! There was a time when the grandstands were filled from Indy to Milwaukee, to Sacramento to Langhorne to Phoenix because many of the same cars and drivers came from and continued to compete on short tracks of various surfaces. More Clausons and fewer Brazilian sugar daddy's!
