Dover Motor Speedway is set to host a traditional NASCAR points‑paying weekend in May 2027, marking a pivotal moment for the track after the 2026 All‑Star event.
The schedule features the NASCAR Cup Series running a 400‑mile race on May 16, followed by the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series competing in the BetRivers 200 on May 15.
This weekend will be Dover’s 58th consecutive year of Cup Series dates and its 109th overall Cup race, underscoring the venue’s long‑standing role in NASCAR history. Denny Hamlin, who captured three straight victories at the track, will aim for a fourth straight win, a feat that would make him the first driver to achieve such a streak.
Fan Zone Revitalization
The speedway will reintroduce its Fan Zone, offering driver appearances, live music, food vendors, interactive games and family‑friendly entertainment, creating a festive atmosphere for attendees.
Fans who purchased tickets for the 2026 events can renew their seats until August 28, preserving their current locations and gaining the opportunity for upgrades as the track prepares for a larger crowd.
Tickets for the 2027 NASCAR weekend are available through DoverMotorSpeedway.com or by calling 1‑800‑441‑RACE, ensuring fans can secure their spots early.
Looking Ahead
With the combination of historic racing heritage, a revamped fan experience and renewed ticket options, the 2027 weekend promises to be a marquee event for both longtime supporters and newcomers, reinforcing Dover’s status as one of only twelve tracks to have hosted over 100 Cup races.
