Raceway lights go out during NASCAR truck series race (VIDEO)

NASCAR was left in the dark Friday night when, with 27 laps to go, the lights at Phoenix International Raceway went out during the Lucas Oil 150 with Erik Jones in the lead.

And there weren't any headlights.

The red flag was thrown at 11:45 p.m. ET with 126 laps of the scheduled 150 laps completed in the event. The official decision to call the race came down at 11:56 p.m. ET.

The delay was not the first one in the race. A power outage a bit before the race was scheduled to go green delayed the start of the race by just over 75 minutes as there was a power outage in the West Valley area near the track.

The lights came back on in full around 9:48 p.m. ET and the command to start engines was given at 9:57 p.m. ET. The green flag for the race officially dropped at 10:04 p.m. ET.

At the time of the delay, the track tweeted the following:

PIR has learned there is a major power outage in the West Valley. APS has multiple crews working on it. We will update as soon as possible.

During the delay, drivers passed the time by just chatting on pit road, while some crew members were spotted tossing a football around.

The second outage brought a halt to the race with Jones being declared the winner.

Just call it Friday Night Lights Out.
