NASCAR drivers face the Monster Mile this weekend as the Cup Series speeds into Dover Motor Speedway.
This will be the only race this season at Dover, but it does feature the return of the track’s all-time wins leader: Jimmy Johnson. The seven-time Cup Series champion and now Legacy Motor Club co-owner will pilot the No. 84 Toyota for his team at an oval where he has won 11 times – four more than the next closest driver.
But Legacy Motor Club will be without full-time driver Erik Jones after he was diagnosed with a compression fracture in his lower back following a crash last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Corey Heim, the team's reserve driver, will substitute for Jones in the No. 43 Toyota.
Sunday’s race, however, could come down to another battle between Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, who have combined to win eight of the 10 races held so far this season. The two teams have dominated the Monster Mile for the past decade. Since the 2013 fall race at Dover, Hendrick or Gibbs drivers have won 14 of 18 Cup Series races held at the Delaware track.
