Press Release

Lt. Governor’s Challenge returns to Dover International Speedway on June 15

DOVER, Del. - A fitness walk at Dover International Speedway is planned for Wednesday, June 15, 2005 as part of the Lt. Governor’s Challenge. The walk will begin at 12 p.m., and will allow participants to walk the one-mile concrete superspeedway at lunchtime. The fitness walk is free and open to the public.

Members of the media are welcome to attend. This is the second year Dover International Speedway has hosted the Lt. Governor’s Challenge. Lt. Governor Carney and participants will be available for comment. Log books and other information on the Lt. Governor’s Challenge will also be available.

The Challenge, which Carney started three years ago, has had almost 20,000 people sign up and has many group participants, including corporate, faith-based and senior organizations. The Challenge was created to help make Delawareans aware that being more physically active doesn’t mean countless hours at the gym. “The Challenge isn't about running a marathon or becoming a power lifter,” Carney said. “It's about having a good time with family and friends. I can't think of a better place to get some physical activity while having fun than at a state landmark like Dover International Speedway.”

Participants in the Lt. Governor’s Challenge accumulate points by completing any of a wide variety of daily activities, and use an official Challenge logbook to track their progress. After three months, participants are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on the number of points they earned. For more information on the Lt. Governor’s Challenge, call (302) 577-8787 or (302) 744-4333.

“Dover International Speedway is pleased to host such an important initiative here on the property,” said Denis McGlynn, CEO and president of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “Anything we can do to encourage a healthy lifestyle is a positive, and hopefully many Delawareans will come out and walk the Monster Mile.”

On June 15, guests can access the track by entering the main entrance off of Route 13, and turning right in front of the Dover Downs Hotel. Follow the access road around the outside of the track to Gate 1, where parking will be available.

With the June 3-5, 2005 race weekend just completed, Dover International Speedway is now gearing up for the Sept. 23-25 NASCAR race weekend. All eyes will again be on the Monster Mile, as the Sunday, Sept. 25 race is the second of the final ten races of the season and part of the “Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup.” Tickets for the entire race weekend are available online at www.DoverSpeedway.com or by calling 1-800-441-RACE.
