Remember a decade or so ago when it seemed like every NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series track that didn\u2019t have lights was adding them and planning to host a night race in the near future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, those days have long since passed. For reasons that NASCAR has never really bothered explaining, the sport has largely moved away from night races in the last few years in favor of more traditional Sunday afternoon time slots for its premier division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, one of the tracks that\u2019s bucking this trend is Nashville Superspeedway \u2014 the 1.33-mile concrete oval set to host Sunday\u2019s Ally 400<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in its three years as a Cup Series venue, Nashville is scheduled to turn the lights on for a Cup race and will do so when NASCAR\u2019s premier division convenes in the Music City this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re ready to shine under the bright lights of @NashvilleSuperS<\/a>. \ud83e\udd29
