Last year the Daytona 500 finished under the lights because of the weather. I don't agree with bringing back racing to the Yellow Flag, unless its the last lap. It has allowed the saftey crews to get to the cars quicker than ever before. The only reason that it is going to be a night race is because of last years race.

It isn't particularly warm in Daytona in February so when the sun goes down, it will be chilly.....Also means my Daytona Pary will run rather late for a Sunday night.....Now I'll have to take Monday off!

The Pepsi 500. Jeez. "DIS Director of Media Relations David Talley said he believes fans will embrace the change, which was made at the request of FOX TV." NASCAR and its daughter companies have really lost their balls. Give me racing back to the yellow flag back and I will at least be somewhat happier. Great. The Pepsi 500. Jeez.

It said that it would possibly END under the lights. True it has always been run in total sunlight, its still a race. Its still a time honored tradition. Watch the race, enjoy the race. quit bitchin about it being moved back a few hours. Noone said it was going to be a full night race. It said that it would possibly END under the lights.

The 500 is a DAY arce and the 400 is a NIGHT race. When will Brian France understand tradition? The racing at Daytona already is not as good as it used to be so just leave it alone.

The 500 should be at 1:00 like always, they already have the Pepsi 400 at night. Some people have to go to work at 7 Sunday night, I would like to watch the whole thing and not miss the best part, but knowing my luck it will end like the Talladega race last fall. I guess he thought if you cant beat'em, wreck'em. I agree with Phillip and Anonymous. The 500 should be at 1:00 like always, they already have the Pepsi 400 at night.

The Daytona 500 at night just wont have the same feeling as it once did... Maybe it’ll get rained out that Sunday and they’ll have to run the race around noon on Monday!

Always someone complaining about something. The Daytona 500 was traditionally ran on the beach, complain about that. boo hoo NASCAR threw out tradition a long time ago starting with expanding race events to the west and leaving ESPN the first time.

When does heritage and respect somes before tv ratings. It's not like they don't have to avoid the NFL games during the day. this is just another example of NASCAR throwing away tradition just to get more popularity. i do, the Daytona 500 is traditonally a day race, not a night race.
