NASCAR is shifting from its longest track, the Talladega Superspeedway, to the concrete oval Dover Motor Speedway, for the Wurth 400. This weekend will be full of thrilling racing action as the one-mile concrete oval hosts Next Gen cars for the third time since last year’s playoff race.
After an eventful weekend in Alabama, it will be interesting to see how drivers cope with the challenges posed by the Dover track in Wurth 400.
A total of 36 NASCAR Cup Series cars are set to start the race on Sunday (April 30) and compete for 400 laps, giving us 400 miles of bumper-to-bumper racing. Ahead of Sunday’s race, there will be a qualifying race on Saturday to determine the starting lineup for the 11th race of the season.
