If the high banks of Dover (International Speedway) aren't enough to wake us up for practice and race day, MAX by Maxwell House definitely will and it will keep us fueled all day to perform our best as we try to get all we can out of our No. 37 Chevrolet."

“Dover is a really challenging track. On the long runs there is a lot of rubber that builds up on top of the track and you have to watch for spinning your tires. It’s a very physically demanding track and we’ve run pretty good there the last few races, so I’m looking forward to it.” Kasey Kahne on racing at Dover

Fast aggressive track: "Dover International Speedway is a place I’ve always had much love for in the past and for years it suited my style,” Allmendinger said. “It's such a fast racetrack where you've really got to have the back of your car under you to be aggressive with the track. I’m hoping we can get a good handle on the track, have a great run there and finish strong. We need some good luck on our side.”
