It's lights out on a potential night race at Dover International Speedway. At least for now.
On Thursday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. tweeted this picture from the track, causing speculation that Dover could finally be adding lights.

Well, the track responded on Friday.
.@DaleJr We thought people would think that but didn't think you'd be first! It's actually for a new catch fence we're installing in 2015

Thumbs up for safety, but proponents of a night race in Dover will have to keep waiting.
