If you recall, the race used to start around 4pm and end in the evening; thus "racing into the darkness". However, that all changed due to television. Darkness makes for bad TV. Yes, one can argue that the 24 hours of Lemans and Daytona are in the dark. But, that is the reason. As for next year, the new date means longer days or daylight. Assuming the start time stays the same, there should be some darkness and it shouldn't be as cold.
