Auto racing is no ordinary sport. It takes an abundance of courage, an understanding of mechanics and a burning desire to win in order to be successful. While the average person can learn how to run and throw on their own, it takes years of commitment and development for a driver to learn how to live life in the fast lane.

These “fast lanes” come in the form of race tracks. From asphalt to concrete, banked turns to tricky apexes, race tracks are built as unique as the people and various types of series that race on them. Dover Motorsports, Inc. (NYSE:DVD) is proud to operate four of the country’s premier motorsports facilities – Dover International Speedway, Gateway International Raceway, Memphis Motorsports Park and Nashville Superspeedway. The four facilities collectively host more than 500 motorsports events each season and serve major markets in the Northeast, Mid-West and Southern regions of the United States.
