The NASCAR Xfinity Series will be part of a rare double-header weekend with the NASCAR Cup Series as both will race twice at Dover. Saturday will feature a 200-mile Xfinity Series race followed by the Cup Series, and then they will turn around and do the same thing again the next day.
Saturday’s Drydene 200 will start at 12:30 p.m. ET, while the Sunday edition of the Drydene 200 will be at 1 p.m. ET. Both races will run on NBCSN, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
This marks the third time this season that the Xfinity Series will run back-to-back races at the same track on the same weekend. Homestead-Miami Speedway was the first track to host the unique schedule adjustment, with Harrison Burton winning the first race and Chase Briscoe taking the second.
Kentucky Speedway hosted the second double-header weekend for the series, which was swept by Austin Cindric.
The last driver to sweep the pair of series’ races in a season at the Monster Mile was Kyle Busch in 2014, although Christopher Bell did win back-to-back races in the fall of 2018 and spring of 2019.
In all, six different drivers have swept the pair of races in a season at Dover – Robert Pressley (1992), Todd Bodine (1993), Randy LaJoie (1996), Carl Edwards (2011), Joey Logano (2012, 2013) and Busch (2014).
Justin Allgaier is hoping that his past success at Dover will vault him to his first victory of the season, which has been trademarked by misfortune. Allgaier is the only former series winner at Dover entered in this weekend’s races – he won in the spring of 2018.
