Can you believe we are already entering Week 3 in the Chase for the Sprint Cup? Why does time have to be flying by so quickly? Whatever you do, don’t blink or you’ll end up in Homestead-Miami for the final race. The last two week’s races have been anything but entertaining, but hopefully with the Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series heading to Dover International Speedway, we can see some great racing. The Camping World Truck Series heads to “sin city” for some great racing.
Nicknamed “The Monster Mile”, Dover International Speedway is a 1-mile oval with 24 degrees of banking in the turns and 9 degrees of banking on the straights. The concrete track hosted it’s first NASCAR sanctioned race on July 6, 1969 and was won by Richard Petty. This place definitely has a lot of history.
In this race last year, Kurt Busch was able to celebrate in victory lane after mishaps from Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards in the final laps of the AAA 400. The win was Busch’s first victory at Dover. After a week of big news for Busch, can he capture the checkered on Sunday?
