I spent the end of a recent summer a short drive from Seekonk Speedway, a popular stock car race track on the Massachusetts border with Rhode Island. I would go to the track in the afternoon when the light had already started to tilt and deepen on its way to fall.
When night came, the sky turned from blue to indigo and the colors of the race cars became even more sumptuous. Every driver was driving for someone or something and more than a few cars wouldn’t finish the race. /SEEKONK
