No lights for Dover.
After another successful race weekend at Dover International Speedway last weekend, the rumour mill has again begun to turn.
The construction of new light towers in the infield of Dover Downs Raceway, the harness racing track owned and operated by Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc., have led some to believe that lights are being added to motorsports events at the one-mile concrete oval.
After another successful race weekend at Dover International Speedway last weekend, the rumour mill has again begun to turn.
The construction of new light towers in the infield of Dover Downs Raceway, the harness racing track owned and operated by Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc., have led some to believe that lights are being added to motorsports events at the one-mile concrete oval.
Dover International Speedway has no plans to add lights in 2006.
"There is no truth to the rumour that lights will be added in 2006 at Dover International Speedway," said Denis McGlynn, CEO and president of Dover Motorsports, Inc.
The new harness track lights are currently being erected in 26 locations around the property to replace the original lights, which were installed when the track opened in 1969.
The installation of the lights will be completed at Dover Downs Raceway in time for the opening of the 2005-2006 harness season at the end of October.
NASCAR action returns to Dover International Speedway next year for two tripleheaders in 2006 on June 2nd-4th and September 22nd-24th.
