BROOKLYN, MI - More than 90 new displays will greet visitors when Nite Lites takes over Michigan International Speedway for the holiday season on Thanksgiving Day.
The five-mile lighted display, which visitors view from the comfort of their cars while listening to synced holiday music on their radios, opens at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 22.
This is the second year the display is at the speedway, after moving from the Jackson County Fairgrounds in 2017.

Hours are 5:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5:30 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday through Dec. 31. Cost is $25 per car. All veterans and active military personal are admitted free on Dec. 5.
