I've noticed that both the Richmond races are run at night. Isn't it tradition for one race to be run in the daylight and the secound to be run at night?.

I dunno... I kinda like night races. The shadows from all the lights make for a trippy light show effect. Makes ya wanna say... Dude...

I think they used to run one of the races in the day? Not sure when they made the switch to two night races but I know it's been at least the past two seasons or more that both have been under the lights.

Yes, the spring Richmond race used to be contested during the day a few seasons ago. I think it was changed to a night race in 1999 or 2000. At the time, I remember hearing local track owners being quite vocal against these changes because Winston Cup night races on Saturday night really hurt their attendance.
