Richmond Under the Lights |
It's a familiar question you've heard from other fans (or possibly from your own mouth) during a Nascar race: "Does this track have lights?" Sometimes (like during a, um, night race) it's pretty easy to tell. But when it's late-afternoon after an hour-long rain delay, it could be pretty hard to tell. So here's a list!
