Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 Track: Dover International Speedway

Dover Motor Speedway, nicknamed “The Monster Mile,” is a 1-mile concrete oval with 24 degrees of banking in the turns and 9 degrees on the straights, producing fast, physically demanding racing.

The concrete surface is rough and abrasive, making tire management and grip control critical over long green-flag runs.

Because of the high banking and tight layout, drivers experience heavy g-forces, and cars must be set up to handle aggressive corner entry and exit.

Teams like Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing traditionally run well here, with drivers like Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr. consistently finding speed and strong results.

Conversely, drivers who rely heavily on smooth handling or struggle with tire falloff— like Austin Dillon or Daniel Suárez—have found it tough to get dialed in at Dover.

It’s a mentally and physically exhausting race where rhythm, patience, and adapting to the ever changing track conditions are key to survival and success.

NASCAR Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 Head-to-Head Prediction

Ross Chastain -140 over Kyle Busch

Chastain thrives at Dover, with an impressive average finish of 5.7 over his last three races at the track, compared to Kyle Busch’s 10.7.

He’s also been consistent on shorter ovals this season, finishing 11th or better at Bristol, Phoenix, Martinsville, and Darlington.

With his comfort level on these types of tracks, Chastain has the edge in this head-to-head matchup.

Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 Top 10 Prediction

Alex Bowman TOP 10 (-115)

Bowman has a strong track history at Dover, finishing in the Top 10 in each of his last two starts at the track.

He’s always a threat on oval circuits when he avoids trouble and keeps his car clean. If he runs a smooth race, another Top 10 finish is well within reach.
