Gotta get it cool enough the cars don’t melt so needs to be night, and it just so happens that middle of the night is when Vegas’s iconic neon light show looks its best as well but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence
It’d be cool enough during the day. Today is a high of 67°F (19C). There’s no worry of anything melting.
It’s also dark at 5pm, but they’re waiting until 10pm for the race. It looks no different at 5 than it does at 10
The average high this time of year is just below 70 F / ~20C. The nighttime temperature is closer to winter testing than any races. Sunset is around 4:30PM local (1230 UTC) so an evening or early night race would still get the lights. I think part of the reason for the time is getting the strip to agree to close.
