In its first quarter earnings release, Dover Motorsports, Inc. announced 20,000 fans will attend the race weekend at Dover International Speedway.
“We’re happy to report that officials in Delaware have given us approval to host up to 20,000 fans at our NASCAR weekend at Dover International Speedway in May,” Company President and CEO Denis McGlynn stated in the release. “We are happy to be on a path back to normalcy with actual fans in the stands for both tripleheader weekends.”
Dover will host the ARCA Menards Series East, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Cup Series consecutively on May 14-16. Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick won the two Cup Series races there last year, Justin Allgaier and Chase Briscoe were the Xfinity Series victors, and Sam Mayer was the ARCA East Series winner. Zane Smith also won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race there in 2020.
