AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:

What does the sensation of speed at Dover Motor Speedway feel like?

"Racing at Dover Motor Speedway is like a rollercoaster ride with no tracks. There isn't another track like it. You carry a lot of pace there. When you drive down into the corner to get to the bottom of the track, it feels like you're coming off a four-story building with the banking. You just try to catch your breath and get back on the gas to drive off the corner. We do that for 400 laps. Once you get into the race, you get into a rhythm and you start to feel comfortable. The first couple of laps are always hard on you though."

What is the most challenging part about racing at Dover Motor Speedway?

"It's a hard concrete track. We have to make sure our shock package is good, and hopefully the Get Bioethanol Chevrolet handles well. Maybe the line will move around, but it's usually right around the bottom. As the rubber lays down, it gets harder to do more with the car. Dover is definitely a Monster, but my No. 3 team is up for the challenge."

KYLE BUSCH QUOTES:

You have had a lot of success at Dover Motor Speedway. How does that track fit your driving style so well?

“I’ve always enjoyed Dover. I feel like it’s a big Bristol so I think going there is kind of fun. It’s really a unique track with the elevation change from the straightaways to the corners, the drop down, and the jump back out of the hole that you have going from straightaway to corner and back to straightaway. It’s definitely gotten more character over the years being rougher into Turn 3. That’s the tricky part of the track is trying to figure out Turn 3 and how you get through the bumps over there.”  

How demanding is qualifying at Dover Motor Speedway?

“Qualifying at Dover is sometimes demanding just because the speeds are so high. You’re in the corner longer than the straightaways so that track is definitely a challenge. A couple of years ago when we went to the higher downforce package, it was wide-open qualifying which was crazy. These cars are a little bit different but still super-fast considering the size of the track at Dover. Qualifying is also important because of pit selection. Pit road there is really, really tight and you definitely want to have a good stall, somewhere with an opening, preferably, to get in okay and get out clean.”

Why is the pit road at Dover Motor Speedway so challenging?

“The biggest challenge of the pit road at Dover is because it’s so narrow. The speeds are low too, so if you have a green flag stop you tend to go a couple laps down. You don’t want to have a green flag stop.”

Sheldon Creed and the No. 2 Whelen Engineering Chevrolet Camaro SS at Dover Motor Speedway... Sheldon Creed has made one career NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Dover Motor Speedway, posting an eighth-place finish last season behind the wheel of the No. 2 Whelen Engineering Chevrolet.

SHELDON CREED QUOTES:

What does it take to be successful at Dover Motor Speedway?

“To have success at Dover, you have to be able to get into the corner. You can get away with being tight for a short amount of time, but you really need to be a little free to be good on both the short and long run. Last year, we finished eighth and I was really loose throughout the entire race and had to manage that feeling inside the car."

Do you feel the sensation of speed at Dover Motor Speedway when compared to other tracks?

"Yes, especially after qualifying. That's when you really realize how fast you are going. When you drop down off the hill into the corner, it feels like you drop a story. It's pretty crazy. At the end of the race, you are stuck in your seat leaning to the left after running that many laps."

In addition to trying to win the race, you are also chasing $100K with Xfinity's Dash 4 Cash program.

"This is my first time being qualified for Dash 4 Cash, so it's pretty cool and exciting. If I hadn't been spun at Circuit of the Americas, I was the highest finisher the following week at Richmond and would have won it there, so this is a second chance of sorts. Our Whelen team is just going to race ourselves like we always do and see where we end up at the end of the race. But the program is a great way to provide extra motivation for a bonus, not only for myself but for my team guys."

AUSTIN HILL QUOTES:

Do you get a sense of speed from inside the car at Dover Motor Speedway?

“You definitely get a very big sense of speed at Dover. The first laps that I always make there take your breath away until you get settled in. You feel like you’re running 200 miles per hour around that place."

You had success at Dover Motor Speedway dating back to your first race there in 2013. What do you like about that track?

“I won the first time that I was there in the ARCA Menards Series East back in 2013 and then when we came back the following year, I won again. I didn’t win at the Truck Series level but it always seemed like we had speed and ran inside the top-five a lot. Dover is so fast and it’s so much fun to get around. From the first time I went there, I understood how you had to approach the entry of the corner to be good on exit. That’s one of the key elements that makes me pretty good around Dover.”
