Some Dover stats: Thirty-seven of 65 Winston Cup races at Dover have been won from the first four starting positions. Only 13 races have been won from a starting position outside the top 10. A Chevy won three straight races at Dover (fall 1995 and both races in 1996) but did not win in the first seven races after the switch to the 400-mile race format. A Ford won four of the seven races with Pontiac winning three. Chevy has posted three consecutive victories since 2001. Three drivers have won three straight races at Dover: David Pearson (fall of 1972 and both races in 1973), Rusty Wallace (fall of 1993 and both races in 1994) and Jeff Gordon (fall of 1995 and both races in 1996). In the 31 years of twice-a-year NASCAR Winston Cup racing at Dover (1971 to 2001), a sweep occurred seven times. Tony Stewart is the most recent driver to win both Dover races in the same year (2000). Jeff Gordon (1996), Rusty Wallace (1994), Dale Earnhardt (1989), Bill Elliott (1988), Bobby Allison (1983) and David Pearson (1973) are the other sweepers
