ATLANTA (AP) - The Associated Press has learned that NASCAR will run under the lights in Atlanta next year and the race is expected to be moved to Labor Day weekend.

A racing official says Atlanta Motor Speedway and NASCAR officials are planning to make the schedule change announcements tomorrow.

It's expected that Atlanta's night race will get its new date in a move that involves two other tracks. Atlanta would get the Labor Weekend date that the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, now hosts. Fontana would get the fall race now run at Talladega, and Talledega would wind up with Atlanta's fall race.
