PAUL MENARD QUOTE:
Menard’s Thoughts on Racing at Dover International Speedway:
“Dover (International Speedway) is one of my favorite tracks. It’s one of the few tracks that you get your greatest sense of speed. You can really feel the speed inside the car and anything can happen at that one-mile oval, making the nickname ‘Monster Mile’ very fitting. When you drop off into the corner you feel the speed the most. We’ve had mixed results at Dover in the past, but I feel like we’ve got some momentum going into this weekend with our Libman/Menards Chevrolet.”
