No trucks at Dover this year.

This will be a fun race, as always. One of my favorite tracks on the schedule.

 

[antman12]

Ill be in the house for the Cup race, cant wait!

Last time I went to Dover the 22 had a broken axel during the pace laps and missed the first 20 laps. I cried (lol not really), everyone else cheered and Larson dominated. Good times.

Rest of the tickets went on sale this morning on TicketMaster. Sold out quickly and I had to go to StubHub and found a good priced one before they get increased with less and less being available

Some former champions of the spring race:

Excited to be back last year was the first time I missed a year at Dover since 1999

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Is Dover only having the spring race this year? No fall playoff race anymore?

Dover owns Nashville that's where the date went

ah I probably knew that at some point. Hate that Dover loses a race, while not always one of my favorite races on the schedule I did like the uniqueness of the track

Truck race was also one of the best of the weekend. ARCA/K&N has been a terrible race there for a while

My hats off to MTJ for an awesome dominating win yesterday. The best car definitely won. Larson didn't really have a car to beat MTJ but he he did all he could do with it. He had to use it up to even get close to MTJ. Even if he had not had a speeding penalty I don't think he had enough to win. But, the 5 team has been the best of the HMS teams so far this season with the 24 team being the the second best team. The 9 team has been pretty stale so far this season and the 48 team just can't shake the bad luck bug they are having even though some of it was due to there own doing that put them in a bad position to start with.

 

[Mispeedway15]

Worst track on the calendar in my opinion. The 750 HP/low downforce produces terrible racing here.

Haley gets another cup race and is the only promising (i) alien that won't stop traffic

I don't really consider it a save when they turn it around, but yeah, that was impressive .

Nascar probably won't change their policy yet for Dover as this is just out.

 

[kkfan91]

Also his final points win, never thought it at the time.

What is worrisome, the account has the blue check mark

I was there too. Only time I've seen my driver win in person and I've been to 25 races.

And an interesting fact, I went to 7 Dover races between 2004 and 2019 and never saw Jimmie win there... crazy to me since he won so much there in that span.

I might be worried if Twitter was my only source of information. Since I'd heard this from three separate sources before reading the tweet here, I see nothing worrisome.

Fully vaccinated people could stop taking these measures two weeks after the second vaccination. Very common knowledge if you followed the science. Nice of the CDC to finally catch up though. Regardless of the CDC guidance, private entities like NASCAR can make their own policies for any given topic. If I want to be a patron, I will follow their rules.

Fastest pit crew, that's news to me.

But it was a lie. That's the problem. On the other hand, I think race fans are smart enough to check for a collaborating story

Thats awesome, I hope to experience that one day.

Tomorrow you can get a COVID shot at Talladega then drive your personal vehicle around the track. 2 laps.

Great idea.

Do it for Dale.

Now this is cool.

Love this idea...and there are so many others....a minor league park near me is running limited capacity, BUT if you are vaccinated, you get a box seat for the price of a bleacher. If you get stuck for the first time, you go from bleacher to reserved. If you don't get stuck....your choice, but enjoy the bleacher. I think that free beer should be added somewhere in there as an incentive.

I think they should do it again in two weeks for those who do it, and allow tandem racing two weeks after that! All kinds of potential here!

Cool for Josh not for Justin, however I may have to wear my Josh Berry shirt now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Now this is cool.

Gotta change my fantasy team.

Uh, no.

 

[aunty dive]

Gotta change my fantasy team.

Uh, no.

No is a good choice.

The Spire "teams" are uncompetitive. Yes ... I know ... they won a race.

Yeah it isn't a premiere ride, that's for sure, but laps in Cup are Laps in Cup and I bet the money is decent and Berry probably doesn't have to pay the pay to play fee.
