[edit] Background
The "Night of NASCAR Stars" was conceived as a promotional gimmick to get more racing fans to attend the races at Macon Speedway, in Macon, Illinois. Track co-owners Tony Stewart, Kenny Wallace, and Ken Schrader invited fellow NASCAR drivers to their track for a special race of NASCAR drivers who would be racing borrowed UMP Modifieds. Many of which were re-skinned or wrapped to mimic the NASCAR driver's NASCAR race cars.
