From the September, 2006 issue of Stock Car Insider
Dover is the next stop on the NASCAR Schedule
The teams have met their first challenge in the Race for the Chase at New Hampshire International Speedway. The next stop is the Dover International Speedway. Not only will the NASCAR drivers have to take on the Monster Mile, they will have to do it while staring down all of Hulkamania! That's right, Hulk Hogan is serving as grand marshal next weekend in what promises to be the most electrifying "Gentleman, Start your engines" you have ever heard.While I'm pumped up over the combination of my two favorite sports, wrestling and NASCAR, I'm sure the drivers will be focused on the challenges the Monster Mile pose. Of all the drivers in the Chase for the Championship, only Kyle Busch has a top ten average finish at Dover.
Think the current championship standings are crazy? I can only imagine what they'll be like after next Sunday's Dover 400.
Expect both Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson to take advantage of their successful record at Dover as they try to rebound from their poor finishes at New Hampshire. Also expect the following drivers to do well next week:
Tony Stewart - Average Finish 8th
Ryan Newman - Average Finish 8th
Denny Hamlin - Average Finish 11th
Jeff Gordon - Average Finish 13th
