Race Track - All About the Short Track at Dover For the Autism 400

Dover International Speedway, located in Dover, Delaware, home of the Dover Downs Casino as well, owned by Dover Motorsports (who also owns several other Speedways) is a well renowned race track which hosted this weekend's race. This one mile race track, referred to as the "monster mile", is constructed of concrete rather than asphalt, which is what most other tracks are constructed with. They say the concrete is really tough on the cars. Because the track is so short, but is not a superspeedway or a short track, certain races, ones over 500 miles in length, cannot be held here.

The Nashville Superspeedway, Gateway International Raceway, and Memphis Motorsports Park are also owned by Dover Motorsports. In 2006, they announced plans to put a major makeover on this track at Dover. This was supposed to be a huge renovation, adding tons of amenities for the fans. With over 135,000 seats in the revamped speedway, the first phase in the new project was done in 2007, which included a new skybox. In 2008, they expanded the project to beautify the entire facility, including a FanZone display area and a sculpture of racing icons. It is dedicated to the drivers who have left their mark at the Dover International Speedway.

The Sprint Cup Series, part of which includes the Autism 400 at Dover's race track this year, is actually a much larger racing series of thirty six races, mostly held in the southeastern states. This series has also been called other names, such as the Winston Cup, Strictly Stock Cup, the Nextel Cup, and the Grand National Series, just to name a few. The Sprint Cup Series also includes the Daytona 500 as its top race. Sprint Cup Series is a fascinating division of racing, as the cars are quite heavy and yet they do reach speeds of all the way up to 200 mph.
