AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:
What do you think about Dover International Speedway? Do you like racing on concrete?
“Dover International Speedway is one of my favorite tracks because of the physical aspect of the track. You have to muscle your way around that place. With a good car, you can really string out over a long run and gain and pass people. It’s a fast track. It’s a place that aggressive drivers like.”
They say Dover International Speedway is a place where the rubber lays down in an unusual fashion. Can you describe that?
“Over a long run, I’ve actually seen where cars can move up the track and carry some speed on the long run, so I enjoy when the track spreads out with the rubber and when it lays down and picks up because it’s like dirt racing. You’re always looking for that line. There’s a little bit of extra speed here and there with the rubber laying down and picking up.”
