Official Release

Brett Moffitt | No. 34 Dockside Logistics Ford "I love Dover. I've had a lot of success there in the past. I had two wins in the K&N Series there, and then last year I made my debut there in the Cup series and finished 22nd after starting 18th. So, it's a track I always look forward to going to."

After two consecutive point races of having the dominant car, Martin Truex Jr. returns to his home track this weekend – Dover International Speedway, site of his first career Sprint Cup Series win (June 4, 2007).

The Chevrolet Dual in Detroit will be the 18th and 19th Indy car races conducted at The Raceway at Belle Isle Park and the 21st and 22nd Indy car races held in Detroit. A 2.5-mile street circuit in Detroit hosted CART events from 1989-1991.

Chevrolet drivers and teams have been the best at surviving 400 laps on the concrete oval. Bowtie-branded drivers have hoisted the ‘Miles the Monster’ trophy the past four consecutive races. Chevy’s Jimmie Johnson has practically owned Dover International Speedway during the last decade with nine victories to his credit; he leads all NSCS drivers as the most successful at the track.

Last May, Johnson took home his ninth career trophy from Dover by leading a dominating 272 laps. In that race he surpassed Bobby Allison’s 2,802 laps led to become the all-time lap leader at Dover. Johnson has now led 2,976 laps around the Monster Mile and has completed 98.2 percent of all laps attempted.

“Dover is such a fun race track. The track changes throughout the day and you have to work to keep up with the changes. It’s certainly a challenge, but it rewards the driver and team with the right setup. You can get out there and race and put on a good show for the fans.

In seven career starts in the XFINITY Series at “The Monster Mile,” Bayne has recorded two top-five finishes, six top-10 finishes and has an average finish of 9.3. His best finish of second came in the May 2014 event at the one-mile oval.

Roush Fenway Racing’s Chris Buescher will make his third NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Dover International Speedway on Saturday. In his previous two starts, both coming last season, Buescher started inside the top-10, and earned finishes of 11th and fourth, respectively.

In that start, Wallace ran the entire race inside the top-15.
