DOVER, DE - With the news that NASCAR plans to institute a revised points race system for the 2004 Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, Dover International Speedway becomes a major focal point in the grand scheme of things by being one of the 10 tracks hosting a Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup race. Thus, the September 26 MBNA America 400 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race has taken on even more importance and the Monster Mile will be a focal point for racers and race fans alike.

“Obviously, the races leading up to the final 10 championship chase events also will take on more importance, so we feel that both of our NASCAR tripleheader weekends will be of great value to our fans,” said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “Nonetheless, having our September race as part of the final championship run will certainly mean that we’ll be the equal of any other major sporting event in the country that weekend and will raise the bar for race fans to make sure they are here for the action.”

The June race weekend will feature the top three series in NASCAR racing, with the MBNA America 400 NEXTEL Cup Series race highlighting the weekend on June 6. That will be preceded on June 5 with the MBNA America 200 Busch Series race and on June 4 with the MBNA America 200 Craftsman Truck Series race. Since the June 6 race will be the 13th of the NEXTEL Cup Series season, the race will firmly be on for teams to qualify for the top echelon eligible for the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup.

The last race prior to the final segment of the championship chase will be at Richmond in early September. The first of the actual championship chase races will be in New Hampshire, then Dover is up next. The fever-pitch excitement of that race weekend will no doubt be high and will add even more to the pressure race teams face when they take on the one-mile concrete track known as The Monster Mile.

Tickets for the MBNA America 400 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race on June 6, as well as the MBNA America 200 Busch Series (June 5) and MBNA America 200 Craftsman Truck Series (June 4) races are on sale and may be ordered by calling 1-800-441-RACE (1-800-441-7223).
