Dover Motor Speedway is set to host a full day of on-track action during NASCAR’s race weekend. Cup teams will practice and qualify on Saturday in preparation for Sunday’s race, which will start at 2 p.m. ET on FS1. Last season, Kyle Busch started from the pole position after rain canceled qualifying, with Christopher Bell joining him on the front row.
The Xfinity series will also be racing on Saturday, with defending winner Ryan Truex back in the lineup for Joe Gibbs Racing. In the Xfinity series, there are four drivers who have secured spots in the playoffs: Austin Hill, Chandler Smith, Sam Mayer, and Jesse Love. Love will be one of four drivers competing for the final Dash 4 Cash $100,000 bonus against Ryan Sieg, Anthony Alfredo, and Riley Herbst.
Saturday also marks Corey Heim’s Cup debut as he practices and qualifies in the No. 43 Legacy Motor Club Toyota, replacing Erik Jones who sustained a back injury in a crash at Talladega. Heim will make his first Cup start on Sunday.
Riley Herbst expressed frustration about being passed during the green-white-checkered flag lap saying “I just don’t understand Am I not allowed to pass people on a green-white checkered?”
The schedule for Saturday includes cup and Xfinity series practice and cup qualifying in the morning, with the Xfinity Series race set for 1:30 p.m under cloudy skies with a high of 57 degrees with a 2% chance of rain
