NASCAR at Dover: Why this 3-time winner has most to prove. Is Katherine Legge racing?
It's almost hard to fathom that in the 56 years of auto racing at Dover Motor Speedway, there has been only one other race weekend held in July − the first one, on July 6, 1969. Yet that will happen again the weekend of July 18-20 when Dover hosts its annual race weekend, beginning July 18 with the General Tire 150 in the ARCA Series, followed July 19 with the BetRivers 200 as part of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and culminating July 20 with the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400, a key race in the NASCAR Cup Series. Dover Motor Speedway officials are not treating this opportunity as an, ahem, day at the beach. For the fans who attend, that's a different story, literally. DOVER'S FUTURE: From glorious highs to an uncertain future, can NASCAR recapture glory at Dover? SIRIANNI AND SUPER BOWL: The 'r' word Eagles, Nick Sirianni won't use about the Super Bowl. They use this instead That's because "Miles Beach" will make its debut near the iconic "Miles the Monster" monument. Miles Beach will have more than 600 tons of sand and all the accoutrements to go along with a day at the beach. That includes a stage with reggae music, a tiki hut, mini-boardwalk, a 25-foot lighthouse, the world's largest Rubber Duck (60 feet tall and weighing 15.5 tons), sand sculptures, dunk tanks, and more. "We couldn't take the race to the beach, so let's see if we can bring the beach to our track," Dover Motor Speedway president and general manager Mike Tatoian said. "Now that we're in the summer, and the kids are out of school, obviously we're accentuating the beach, which is one of Delaware's most beautiful natural assets. "We're trying to create a beach atmosphere without actually going to Rehoboth or Lewes. We're having a lot of fun with that." It's quite a contrast to what Dover has been able to offer in the past. From 2022-24, the race was held the last weekend of April. In 2022 and 2023, the Sunday races were postponed because of rain. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dover hosted two races each year − one in the spring, usually in May or early June; the other in September. NASCAR race weekend in Dover: What to know, where to go, what you can bring Road closures for Delaware State Fair: When will traffic be the worst? It was hard for the speedway to appeal to the beach crowd, or to hold activities around the track that lasted much into the evening because the weather either hadn't warmed up yet, or had already started to cool off. But that's just one component of the race weekend. Here are the others: What's the schedule for racing at Dover Motor Speedway? July 18 at 5 p.m.: General Tire 150 ARCA Menards Series race (on FS1). July 19 at 4:30 p.m.: BetRivers 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race (on The CW, Performance Racing Network). July 20 at 2 p.m.: Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 NASCAR Cup Series race (on TNT, Performance Racing Network). How to watch racing from Dover Motor Speedway on TV TNT will broadcast the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 beginning at 2 p.m., with radio coverage from PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. For TNT, Adam Alexander is the play-by-play announcer, with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Steve Letarte serving as analysts. The pit reporters are Marty Snider, Danielle Trotta and Alan Cavanna. What's the weather forecast for the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400? The outlook for July 20 isn't great, with scattered thunderstorms expected in the morning, followed by mostly cloudy skies and potentially more thunderstorms in the afternoon. The National Weather Service is predicting a 70% chance of rain. The high temperature is expected to be 86 degrees and humid. Either way, the hot and humid summer weather will have an impact on the racing conditions on the concrete oval. "Being in July, the track is going to be hotter, slicker and theoretically should take more rubber," driver Ricky Stenhouse said. "If that happens, then I think the top side of the racetrack comes into play more. You should be able to pass a little better. But it'll also make the bottom of the racetrack very difficult because the rubber will build up, and then you start kind of sliding around on top of that rubber. "So it'll be tricky for sure." Who's winning the NASCAR In-Season Tournament Challenge? Dover's Cup Series event will be the fourth of five in NASCAR's first-ever In-Season Tournament Challenge, an in-season, bracket-style tournament in which the winning driver pockets $1 million. The tournament began June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway with 32 drivers seeded from No. 1 through No. 32, paired off against each other − No. 1 Denny Hamlin vs. No. 32 Ty Dillon, No. 2 Chase Briscoe vs. No. 31 Noah Gragson, and so on. The driver who performed better at a particular race advanced while the loser was eliminated. Dillon has advanced to the semifinals, held at Dover, where he'll take on No. 12 seed John Hunter Nemecheck. The other semifinal pits No. 23 seed Tyler Reddick against No. 6 Ty Gibbs. The winners advance to the finals July 27 in Indianapolis at the Brickyard 400. Who are the top drivers to watch? The In-Season Tournament Challenge between Gibbs and Reddick has perhaps the most on the line. Beyond the chance for the $1 million prize, Gibbs has to perform well in order to keep his playoff hopes alive. Sixteen drivers make the playoff field that is held over the final 10 races. There are five races left after Dover in the regular season. Individual race winners are granted a spot in the playoff field. Reddick is currently fourth in the standings, so he should be pretty safe for the playoffs. Gibbs, meanwhile, is 17th, just 10 points out of 16th. But he has not won a race this season. As for other drivers, Kyle Busch has the most victories at Dover. He's 15th in the standings and has not won a race. Other drivers to watch include Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott, who have each won twice at Dover. Elliott is currently second in the standings, while Hamlin is in fifth place. That leaves Shane van Gisbergen, who won on the road course at Sonoma, California, on July 13. It was his third victory of the season, all on road courses. He has not been nearly as successful on traditional tracks. That's why van Gisbergen is in 26th place in the standings. While van Gisbergen is in the playoffs based on his three victories, he needs a strong showing at Dover to prove that he will be a legitimate threat in the postseason races. Is Katherine Legge racing at Dover? Legge became the first woman to compete in a NASCAR Cup Series event since Danica Patrick in 2018 when she debuted at Phoenix back in March. Legge, who's 44 years old, has raced in four Indy 500s during a racing career that has spanned more than 20 years. In the Cup Series, Legge has only entered four races so far. She finished 19th on the road course in Chicago on July 6, the highest finish for a woman since Patrick in 2017. Legge is also racing in several Xfinity Series races this season. She will race in both the Xfinity and Cup series races July 26-27 at the Brickyard 400, but she will not be racing at Dover. Legge also competes in the ARCA series, but she will not be at Dover for the General Tire 150. Celebrate the Eagles' Super Bowl win with our new book Why is ESPN SportsCenter at Dover? ESPN will host its "SportsCenter: 50 States in 50 Days" at Dover Motor Speedway on July 20. It's the show's first time at the Monster Mile. ESPN's Marty Smith will begin coverage from the track at 10 a.m. that day with updates, features and so on throughout the day. Where and how to meet drivers Drivers Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are scheduled to participate in interviews at the Monster Monument on July 20 beginning at 11 a.m. for Elliott and Larson, and 11:15 a.m. for Blaney and Josh Berry. In addition, other drivers are scheduled to appear around the racetrack on July 18 and July 19. Check for the full schedule.

A race winner is automatically in the playoffs, regardless of finish in the standings.) Contact Martin Frank at mfrank@ Follow on X @Mfranknfl.

NASCAR Will Run a Race Around the Runways of a U.S. Navy Airbase in San Diego Next June
NASCAR may not be racing at the Chicago street circuit next year, but the series is not done with temporary tracks in big cities just yet. On Wednesday, the series announced plans to run a race at a Naval Base Coronado, a tiny island that makes up part of the city of San Diego. The event, which is only confirmed for 2026 as part of a one-year deal, will coincide with the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy itself. The track should look more like an airport circuit (think Cleveland and Edmonton's former IndyCar rounds, or what Formula E currently runs in Berlin) than a more conventional street circuit, but a layout has not yet been confirmed. NASCAR executive Ben Kennedy told Fox Sports that the track would be around three miles long and built around "the tarmac and the apron areas of the runways but likely not the runways themselves." The base previously held the Coronado Speed Festival, a historic race that also occasionally featured Mazda's MX-5 Cup, from 1997 through 2016. NASCAR's layout is unlikely to be the same as this track, but it could use many of the same stretches of pavement. Another San Diego landmark, the Del Mar horse racing track, hosted a street circuit built in its parking lot in both the 1960s and 1980s. San Diego has not been targeted as a major auto racing market since, although fans from the region are about 90 minutes away from the annual Long Beach Grand Prix in Los Angeles. Since that annual event is in April, the two temporary circuit races are unlikely to pull from the other's audience in significant numbers. NASCAR's San Diego debut is set to run from June 19th to June 21st. All three national series will run on the track, including the Truck Series that skipped Chicago in all three years that the event was held.

NASCAR Through the Gears: Denny Hamlin dries off. Court date looms. Chase Elliott morphs
Talk about mixed emotions at Dover. The week turned out quite well for Denny Hamlin the racecar driver. Denny Hamlin the plaintiff? Not so much, though he suggested things won't get fully up to speed for several more months. We'll get to that and honestly try to make sense of it all, but let's assume everyone is OK if we start by talking about auto racing. Good? Good. Hamlin and his No. 11 Toyota have been pretty darn good all year and that shouldn't be a shocker, since that particular man-and-machine combo has been really good for just about this entire century. But to win Sunday, Hamlin chose Nomex over vulcanized rubber. You heard me right, but settle down, I promise we're still talking about racing. Along the way, Hamlin had to beat back two on-rushing teammates in the closing laps. First, Christopher Bell took himself out with as pretty a pirouette as you'll ever see — he never touched a thing, but some of those in avoidance mode sure did. And then Chase Briscoe, who nosed to the lead on the final overtime restart but couldn't stick the landing. Turns out, he was on newer rubber but older Nomex. Grab that shifter and let's get up to speed. First Gear: Who needs fresh Goodyears when you have dry duds? It's doubtful you came here for an old Deion Sanders quote, but here you go. 'If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good.' During one of two late rain delays, Hamlin told the TNT broadcast audience he was going to change into a fresh Nomex-woven uniform because his was soaked with that nasty brew of sweat and rain and Lord knows what else gets kicked up and tossed through that window net. Yes, he was on worn tires, but he suggested fresh duds might make him feel fresher than he really was. He won, you know, so who's to doubt him? What's doubtful, however, is anytime in the near future, we'll hear a crew chief call his driver to the pits for right-side tires and a dry uniform. But there was also a time when sub-20-second pit stops seemed like science fiction. Second Gear: Denny Hamlin sends us an invitation (to court) Barring a serious change in strategy, not to mention tone, Hamlin's next big uniform change will see him shed the Nomex for wool or cotton, as he slips into a fancy bib-and-tucker for a December court date that continues to loom large up there around Turn 4. Up-to-speed time: Hamlin is co-owner of 23XI Racing, which along with Front Row Motorsports is suing NASCAR, alleging antitrust violations. Both teams have three cars, and all six are among the 36 'chartered' cars, meaning they're locked into each week's race while four additional spots are available to non-charted (or 'open') teams. Since the two plaintiff teams didn't agree to new charter terms late last year (13 other teams, which field 30 cars, did sign), NASCAR has said they forfeited their charters. A judge said that's not right, then another judge said yes it is, and another had to say the second judge was right and then … oh, never mind, who can keep up? Anyway, the two teams aren't currently chartered but won't miss any races, even if more than four 'open' cars enter an upcoming race (which is usually unlikely, given recent history). In fact, NASCAR did what it does throughout the season — update the rulebook. Usually it's about an evolving technical issue, but the day after Dover, NASCAR amended the rules in a way that basically guarantees 23XI and Front Row will have reserved seats for the rest of the season. And 29 days after the season finale, and just nine days after the awards banquet, the two teams and NASCAR (and their legal stormtroopers) are scheduled to be in court to start the official proceedings. Hamlin was asked about the ongoing friction during the Dover weekend and didn't break character. 'All I can tell you,' he began, 'and this will be my blanket answer for all questions about this … if you want answers, you want to understand all of why this is happening, come Dec. 1. You will get the answers that you are looking for and all will be exposed. 'Mark your calendar.' That's gonna be one awkward banquet if he finally wins a championship. Third Gear: Ty times Two as NASCAR brackets reach final rung Whose brackets had Ty Gibbs versus Ty Dillon in the final? Such a possibility was inherent when NASCAR debuted this five-week, in-season tournament to coincide with TNT's five weeks of coverage. At least Gibbs finished fifth at Dover to win his semifinal over Tyler Reddick, who slipped out of the top 10 in the late laps. Dillon finished 20th, one better than semifinal foe John Hunter Nemechek, and needed the day's final 'lucky dog' free pass to do it. Listen, don't be too cynical. At least they tried something, bless their hearts. And hey, there's a million bucks on the line for the Dillon and Gibbs teams. Assuming there's something close to the old industry standard — team and driver splitting race winnings — that'd be a helluva payday for Dillon. And not a bad one for team owner Matt Kaulig, who'd have to sell a lot of gutter guards to make 500k. Do your own research on that one. Fourth Gear: Chase Elliott makes his point(s) We should've smelled a rat when William Byron won the Daytona 500 but left town second in the standings, one point behind Ryan Blaney, who piled up race-day points with stage finishes of first and third. Two weeks later, Byron took over the points lead and held onto it after 17 of the next 18 races, despite not winning another race and despite a recent slump bordering on two months. He's finished 27th or worse in five of the last seven races, and in those other two, he was a ho-hum (for him) eighth and ninth. So your new leader atop the regular-season standings is Chase Elliott, who has morphed into Terry Labonte and become a points hoarder for most of this season. — Email Ken Willis at This article originally appeared on The Daytona Beach News-Journal: Denny Hamlin wins Dover, NASCAR amends, and it might get real awkward
