What to expect
Somebody always dominates at Dover, a fast and slippery 1-mile track. Because the track is a mile in circumference, it's technically not a short track, but the races make it seem like it is, with lots of wrecks and close-quarters driving.
The banking in the corners is so steep that when there's an accident, a car can't help but slide into traffic.
Pit road is nasty-small, and some have called it dangerous; look for trouble there.
TSN's winner: Mark Martin
