The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 will return to Dover Motor Speedway in 2026, bringing NASCAR Cup Series action to the famed “Monster Mile.” Held on the high-banked one-mile concrete oval in Delaware, the event features 400 laps of intense racing and forms part of a packed weekend.
The upper rows in Turns 3 and 4 offer some of the best overall views of the track. If you prefer a look at the key action zones, seats from row 18 and up along the front stretch give a clear view of the start/finish line and pit road. For close-up moments during restarts and finishes, the lower rows near Turn 1 are popular. Fans who enjoy watching cars enter the turns at high speed may prefer seating near Turn 2.
Yes, Dover Motor Speedway offers several parking lots around the venue, with both free and paid options available. Some premium ticket packages include access to reserved parking areas. Arriving early – especially on race day – is highly recommended to avoid heavy traffic and secure a good spot.
NASCAR races are loud. While earplugs are optional for adults, they’re strongly recommended for everyone, especially children. If you’re sitting close to the track or bringing kids, make sure to pack proper hearing protection.
Mid-July in Delaware is typically hot and humid. Daytime temperatures often climb into the upper 80s or low 90s °F (31°C to 34°C), and there’s little shade in the stands. Bring sunscreen, stay hydrated, and consider wearing a hat or using a cooling towel. Pop-up thunderstorms can happen, so a light poncho might come in handy.
