Dover International Speedway - 3pm ESPN2
Affectionately known as the "Monster Mile," Dover International Speedway is a one-mile, high-banked superspeedway in Dover, Del. Dover has been a fixture on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule since its inception in 1969 and will celebrate its 40th anniversary season in 2008. Coinciding with its special anniversary, Dover is also in the midst of the "Monster Makeover," a multi-year capital improvement project that will bring new fan amenities and renovations to the 135,000-seat motorsports facility.
Dover is one of only seven racetracks to host a true NASCAR tripleheader consisting of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, scheduled for May 30 - June 1, 2008. Just 16 weeks separate the two race weekends in Dover as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to the Monster Mile in the heat of the "Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup," along with the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Camping World Series East on Sept. 19 - 21, 2008.
