Dover International Speedway
The 1-mile track in Dover, Del. is both a fan and driver favorite.
With 24 degrees of banking in the corners, 1,076-foot straightaways and a concrete surface, the Monster Mile is a mix between a fast speedway and a high-banked short track. It often is referred to as a big Bristol.
Owned by Dover Motorsports, the track opened in 1969 with Richard Petty winning the Mason-Dixon 300. It has played host to two Cup races per season since 1971. The facility also includes a horse-racing track and a hotel casino outside the race track.
The track, which seats 135,000 fans, currently features a Cup race in mid-May or early-June and then the third race of the Chase For The Sprint Cup in September.
