Dover Motor Speedway

The Dover Motor Speedway is a race track located near the city of Dover, Delaware primarily used for auto racing motorsports events. Nicknamed the Monster Mile after it was first constructed way back in 1969 (the year of the moon landing!), the Dover Motor Speedway is actually just a shade over a mile at 1.03 mi (1.66 km). The oval track was changed from asphalt to concrete in 1995, which prompted a new nickname, White Lightning, but the Monster name has stuck, gracing the venue with a mascot known as Miles the Monster. Miles appears on the winners’ trophies, tickets, and souvenirs as well as in a huge Monster Monument at the venue’s Victory Plaza. With that kind of endorsement from a large and (probably) friendly monster, is it any wonder that racing fans flock to the Dover Motor Speedway year after year for motorsports.
