The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Dover this weekend after the Talladega Superspeedway thriller.
DuraMAX Drydene 400 is the 11th NASCAR Cup Series race and will be held next weekend at Dover Motor Superspeedway in Dover, Delaware. The action will start at 3 p.m. EST on FOX and MRN.
The DuraMAX Drydene 400 is contested over 400 laps on the one-mile-long concrete-oval track. The venue will host the 104th race in the series’ history.
Dover Motor Superspeedway hosted its first Cup Series race in 1969, with Richard Petty taking the win.
The venue, in turn, features 24 degrees of banking, with nine degrees of banking on the straights; drivers have to work together in the draft to succeed. The track is also known as ‘The Monster Mile’.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass shared Sunday’s Cup Series drivers list on his official Twitter account, stating that:
“36 Cup entries for Dover. 15-Preece, 16-Allmendinger, 77-Bilicki”
The three open cars will take the starting grid for this week’s NASCAR Cup Series race — No. 14 Rick Ware Racing’s Ryan Preece, No. 16 Kaulig Racing’s A J Allmendinger, and No. 77 Spire Motorsports’ Josh Bilicki.
Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman won last year’s DuraMAX Drydene 400 and finished with a total time of three hours, 19 minutes, and 55 seconds.
