History of Dover Motor Speedway

The green flag dropped on Dover Motor Speedway events on July 6, 1969, when Richard Petty won that day's Mason-Dixon 300 by six laps.

The Speedway's high banking - peaking at 24 degrees in Turns 1-2 and Turns 3-4 - provides a difficult challenge for America's best drivers, teams and equipment, leading to the track's famous Monster Mile moniker. The banking also provides the high speeds found at Dover, making the Speedway the World's Fastest One-Mile Oval.

The Monster Monument at Victory Plaza, Dover's famous 46-foot statue, has welcomed fans to the Speedway's Fan Zone since 2008. The base of the 40,000-pound Monument showcases plaques honoring every race in track history.

NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson is the all-time leader with 11 Dover Cup Series victories, followed by NASCAR Hall-of-Famers Bobby Allison and Richard Petty with seven apiece.
