The NASCAR circus is all set to leave Talladega Superspeedway and start arriving in Dover, Delaware, for this Sunday's DuraMAX Drydene 400. Dover Motor Speedway will host the eleventh race of the 2022 Cup Series season after a spectacular finish in 'Dega' last weekend.

'The Monster Mile' will only make one appearance in the Cup Series calendar this year, with drivers set to battle it out over the mile-long oval.
