It’s Monster Mile time for the NASCAR Cup Series, as Dover’s one-mile concrete layout looms in their windshields for a Sunday (May 1) afternoon event.

Dover lost one race as they voluntarily moved one race to their sister track Nashville Superspeedway. Dover did not lose one date. They moved it on their own to get a race in Nashville
The racing at Dover has always been good. With this new car there should be an improvement.
