Three of the five most recent NASCAR Cup Series races have been contested on Saturday nights, including the races at Richmond Raceway and Daytona International Speedway to wrap up the regular season.
But this past Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race was the final night race of the year, as all seven races remaining on this year's playoffs schedule are scheduled to get underway on Sunday afternoons.
Six of the seven remaining races are scheduled to get underway shortly after either 2:00 p.m. ET or 3:00 p.m. ET, with the lone exception being the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to open up the round of 8. That race is scheduled to get underway at roughly 2:30 p.m. local time (5:30 p.m. ET) on Sunday, October 12.
