The Xfinity Series teams return to Dover Motor Speedway for a Saturday afternoon race after back-to-back road course weekends.
This weekend marks the 79th time that the Xfinity Series has traveled to Dover for a race. Joe Ruttman won the inaugural event in 1982 while Ryan Truex won the last two races on the concrete surface.
Truex will be back in the lineup to defend his win. This time, he will join Sam Hunt Racing after winning consecutive races with Joe Gibbs Racing. Truex will be one of only two drivers in the lineup with past Xfinity wins at Dover.
