Dover International Speedway

Dover Motorsports, Inc. owns two of auto

racing’s unique venues, Dover (Del.) International Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn.

The tracks are the largest concrete-only venues in NASCAR and collectively have hosted exciting racing and entertainment events for national and international guests for more than 50 years.

The green flag dropped on Dover International Speedway events on July 6, 1969, when Richard Petty won that day’s “Mason-Dixon 300” by six laps. In 2021, the 1-mile oval nicknamed the “Monster Mile” is set to host another NASCAR tripleheader weekend in May, including the “Drydene 400” NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, May 16.

Nashville Superspeedway hosted its first NASCAR events in April 2001. Through 2011, the 1.33-mile D-shaped oval with 14 degrees of banking was home to 21 NASCAR Xfinity Series races, 13 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events and eight Indy Racing League contests. In 2021, Nashville is scheduled to host its first NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, June 20, the “Ally 400,” a NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, June 19 and the “Rackley Roofing 200” NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday, June 18.

Dover is also home to the Firefly Music Festival, which was first held in July 2012 and hosted 48 national music acts over three days. Firefly has grown to an event that has hosted upwards of 90,000 fans per day, with more than 100 acts playing across a dozen stages, earning a top-five U.S. music festival designation by Rolling Stone magazine. The Firefly Music Festival is set to return to the Woodlands at Dover International Speedway in September, 2021.

Notable acts that have appeared at Firefly include Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, Outkast, The Black Keys, The Killers, Jack White, Kings of Leon, Imagine Dragons, Mumford & Sons and Post Malone.
