FIREWORKS WON'T BE THE ONLY LIGHT AT NEXT YEAR'S PEPSI 400

          Daytona International Speedway (DIS) officials
     announced "construction will begin immediately on installing
     the 'largest lighting project in the entire world,' designed
     to illuminate the 2.5-mile tri-oval course," according to
     Godwin Kelly of the Daytona Beach NEWS-JOURNAL.  DIS
     President John Graham said the system will cost "between"
     $3-5M, and will be installed by IA-based Musco Lighting of
     Muscatine, the same company that handled the Charlotte Motor
     Speedway (Daytona Beach NEWS-JOURNAL, 7/5).  The '98 Pepsi
     400 will run July 4 and be carried by CBS, making it the
     first Winston Cup event televised in prime time by a
     broadcast network (Tony Fabrizio, FL TIMES-UNION, 7/5).
