Need For Speed Race Preview: Dover

This weekend's race @ The Monster Mile marks the halfway point through the 'regular season' until the Chase begins.

Who to watch for?

Well, there's a very real chance this could be any of the drivers race to win. There have been 12 different race winners in the past 12 spring races @ Dover.

Mark Martin and current points leader, Jeff Gordon lead all active drivers with 4 Dover wins each. Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman have 3 a piece.

Even though they haven't really been "on the map" since Matt Kenseth's back-to-back season opening wins, Roush Fenway Racing excels at this track. A Roush driver has won 5 of the last 10 races @ Dover. Greg Biffle has 2 wins and finished runner-up in this race last year.

And then of course, there's Kyle Busch. Kyle is the defending Spring Dover race winner.

There have been some improvements made to the mile-concrete track since the winter including:
- longer, safer pit wall
- pit road has been widened
- all 43 pit stalls are 4 ft longer
- new apron space was created at the entrance to pit road

The good news is.... taking a look at the extended forecast for the Dover area, there's a 0% chance of rain for race day Sunday! Let's hope that won't change. There's a slight chance for wet weather on Friday & Saturday. If the rain can hold out, there won't be a lack of racin' action! It's a triple header weekend with all 3 national series @ Dover.

Friday: Camping World Truck Series - 8pm (SPEED)
Saturday: Nationwide Series - 2 pm (ABC)
Sunday: Sprint Cup Series - 1:30 pm (FOX)
