Underglow lighting will be added to cars already locked into the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race, NASCAR announced Thursday (July 9).
Chip Ganassi Racing first used the underglow lights at last year’s Burnouts on Broadway event during Champion’s Week in Nashville.
Other changes to the All-Star Race include a choose rule, in which drivers will pick which lane they want to be in before a restart, and a new paint scheme where the number is moved closer to the rear wheel.
Underglow lighting indeed coming to the #NASCAR All-Star Race @BMSupdates.
