FRM Race Preview: Dover

Michael McDowell on Dover
16 Starts
Best Finish: 19th
“Dover is one of those places that still takes your breath away on that first lap as you drop into Turn 1 because it’s so fast. Now with the high horsepower and extra downforce, speeds are going to be even faster. I’m excited to race there this weekend. It’s one of those places where you really feel challenged, both physically and mentally as a driver. I’m confident that Drew and the guys on the crew will be able to rally for a great finish.”

Matt Tifft on Dover
(Xfinity Series) 5 Starts | 4 Top-10
Best Finish: 6th
“Dover has always been my favorite track, so I’ve been looking forward to racing there in a Cup car for a while. When you have a good day at Dover, it’s one of the most fun feelings to drive a car there. I think we’ll be able to take our learnings from earlier this season at places like Bristol and apply it at the Monster Mile to get some good speed out of our No. 36 Surface Sunscreen/Tunity Ford.”

David Ragan on Dover
25 Starts
Best Finish: 13th
“Dover is such a fast track. The sensation of speed that you feel as a driver is crazy. It’s also a really tough track on both drivers and equipment. You can get caught up in trouble very easily there. We’re optimistic about what we’ll be able to do with the car this weekend and think this can be a good finish for No. 38 Ford.”
