      I felt it coming, today that is, since little bro won. I listen to MTJ on the scanner every race. I can tell you this, he hates this new car! He doesn’t agree with Small most of the time (they remind me of my brother and I as to what is best). Regardless, I knew he wasn’t going to let little bro show him up!
      That being said, MTJ can be great if he focuses on being great, and not complaining. This is the car you have now!

But this is a call to NASCAR and SMI that they NEED to move this race back to the end of May or the beginning of June.

We usually went to both races, starting fall of 2008, and for about five year. Saw many of JJ’s wins, including his Dover sweep. Saw Kyle Busch hit the wall many many times (feeling a bit of Schadenfreude, there). Still, don’t remember any rainouts. By the way, I was right in front of Logano’s 9x barrel roll down the turn 3 banking.

    I was at the race and thought it was awesome, though I was crushed when Larson got wrecked early through zero fault of his own and when Byron faded in Stage 3. My mom, however, was super excited to see Truex get the W.
    So far as the race date goes, this was my 4th Dover race but first in the spring. Prior to Sunday, I saw an awful lot of fans all over social media complaining that the fall race should have been the one Dover kept "because the weather was so much better." Clearly those folks have selective memories because each of the 3 fall race weekends I attended were affected by weather to an extent, including in 2016 when they had to run the Xfinity race on Sunday morning. The reality is it can rain any time of year, but maybe there would be less of a chance if the race shifted back towards the early June date Dover used to run.
    So far as the track staffing, etc. went, we arrived to the track at about 950 and had zero issues. We were parked within 5 minutes and significantly closer than we were yesterday. Dover posted all the key details for today by 6:30 p.m. last night, including clearly communicating that only certain gates would be open. This makes sense. A lot of the track staff probably have regular Monday-Friday jobs and couldn't make it back. We planned accordingly and left time in our schedules. The lines at the gates were long, but they moved quickly. The crowd was VERY STRONG for a Monday make up, which was awesome, and I felt Dover handled it best they could. Folks who didn't leave enough time in their schedules and/or didn't do their homework last night should blame themselves for failing to plan, not SMI.

    I was at the race yesterday, and it was fun! The grandstand spot in the middle of Turns 1 and 2 gives you the best view of the entire racetrack, in my opinion. (This is my fifth time attending a Dover race, and I usually get the same spot)
    Now as far as the weather....I live in Philadelphia (about a 90-minute drive from Dover) and, yes, it is typically VERY rainy in late April and early May. Someone actually pointed out that this was the 3rd time in the last 5 years that the Dover spring race was postponed to Monday. If you ask me, NASCAR needs to move the Dover date to either middle of May (last race before All-Star weekend) or early June (week after Coke 600). I'd also be down if Texas and Dover swapped dates and Dover gets added back into the Playoff schedule lol. (The weather is usually nice here in late September)
    There were also a LOT of Truex fans at the track yesterday. It was nice to see everyone so happy, and it was nice to see Truex NOT get screwed out of a win for once. I also heard some boos for Chastain as he was getting interviewed.

      Yep. People didn’t like Kurt Busch, now look how he’s received. People didn’t like Harvick, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Dale Sr. Now they’re always cheered on and regarded highly.
      I bet Logano and Chastain will be booed for a while, but both will eventually be loved and missed when they’re gone.

      Chris, if you are old enough to remember Dale, you're old enough to know he had the talent to "know" what he was doing. He was hard-nosed for sure (hence the nicknames), but DELIBERATE. Chastain is an idiot driving above his talent level. He puts himself in situations that he has absolutely no control of anymore and runs into whatever is around him. He basically runs out of talent when he gets to a decision point, and has zero clue how to handle a situation once he gets to where he thinks he wants to be. Stop with these Earnhardt comparisons. It's disrespectful to the LEGEND.

    For a Dover race, which has been ungodly boring for the past 4 years, I think this was a great race. There was constantly a battle for the lead between Truex, Byron, and Chastain with them not getting more than 5 car lengths from each other, switching back and forth. There was something legitimately interesting on the track for once, which was the chastain incident, and it definitely wasn’t a completely single file race (flashbacks to 2021💀).
    I think the Dover races will only get better from here. I can’t wait to see the crowd of an unaffected by rain race as well. The revival of Dover is happening right in front of us.

    I was in the crowd today sitting at the top of turn one. Great crowd for a Monday race. Front stretch looked packed out. Although getting in to the track took longer due to not having all the gates open. There were lines lined up to get in like 20 laps into the race. The Dover spring race needs to be moved back to its late May/early June date when it's less likely to rain. The weekend after the coke 600 was perfect for Dover and since moving it from the date it's been rained out 3 out of 4 years (not counting 2020). Great race and fun time as always

    Summer in the Mid Atlantic region and especially around the Chesapeake Bay Area is really tricky for rain. With the proximity to the bay and the ocean, weather can move in quickly and it’s not uncommon for rain to pop up frequently in the afternoon (even Monday there were a few drops at one point in the race.) The hot mid summer time brings a risk of heat lightning in the late afternoon/evening. Earlier in the spring is too cold and late in the summer is playoff season. Unless this becomes a playoff race this time of year is probably the best for this race, even if there is always some chance of rain.

Not a Rick Ware car in the first quarter of a race. Dale wrecked a lot of people - and was hated for it - but at least he knew how to control his car until it mattered. Ross is out there wrecking anyone and everyone because he’s so overly aggressive that he loses actual car control. Dale was the complete and total opposite.
