Dover International Speedway announces
seat-widening plan to begin in 2012
DOVER, Del. – In an ongoing effort
to provide fans with the most exciting and enjoyable race experience in NASCAR,
Dover International Speedway is pleased to announce a seat-widening plan for the
track’s grandstands beginning in 2012.
The multi-year process, which will take place
throughout the entire outdoor grandstands, will begin in all seating sections
located in Turns 2 and 3. Additional widening of seats toward Turns 1 and 4 and
the frontstretch will begin after the conclusion of the 2012 season. When the
process is complete, all seats will have increased from 18” to 22” in size
throughout the venue.
“Year to year, we’re always exploring ways to
improve the experience for fans who attend our races at the Monster Mile,” said
Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “Because many seats
have already been renewed by our most loyal fans, we don’t want to displace them
in an effort to make this change in one fell swoop. We’ll do our best to widen
seats this year, and complete the process by 2014.
“By widening our seats we are responding to
suggestions from our fans and allowing them to enjoy the race in a far more
comfortable setting.”
When the process is complete by 2014, Dover’s new
seating capacity will be 113,000.
Tickets are now on sale for the June 1-3, 2012 and
Sept. 28-30, 2012 NASCAR race weekends at the Monster Mile. For more information
