After a last-lap pile-up at Talladega last week, the NASCAR Cup Series is heading to a track known as the “Monster Mile.”
Dover Motor Speedway is a one-mile, high-banked and concrete oval located in Delaware – characteristics that make it unlike any other track on the schedule.
It’s been a staple for the sport since 1969, when Dover hosted its first NASCAR race.
What’s in store for Sunday’s race? Who are the favorites? And what’s the schedule? Here’s everything you need to know for the 2024 Würth 400:
NASCAR at Dover entry list
Thirty-seven drivers will race at Dover – the 33 full-timers, plus four others.
Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson is the headliner, making his third of nine starts this season for Legacy Motor Club. Elsewhere, Kaz Grala will pilot the No. 15 for Rick Ware Racing as he continues his part-time effort and veteran A.J. Allmendinger will make his fourth start for Kaulig Racing.
Then there’s Corey Heim, who will make his Cup debut in the No. 43 for Legacy Motor Club after Erik Jones suffered a compression fracture in a lower vertebra when he crashed at Talladega last week.
