The 2024 BetRivers 200 was the 10th stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 43rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware, a 1 mile (1.6 km) permanent asphalt oval shaped speedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 200 laps, but was increased to 208 laps due to numerous NASCAR overtime attempts. In a wild race with carnage in the final stages, Ryan Truex, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would steal the win after taking the lead from Carson Kvapil on the final restart, and won the race after the caution came out on the final lap. This was Truex's second career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, his first of the season, and his second consecutive win at Dover.[9] Cole Custer had dominated the majority of the race, winning the second stage and leading a race-high 95 laps. He pitted following a brief red flag for rain, and navigated through the field to finish 5th. To fill out the podium, Kvapil and Sam Mayer, both driving for JR Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

This was also the fourth and final race of the Dash 4 Cash. Drivers who were eligible for the Dash 4 Cash were Jesse Love, Riley Herbst, and Anthony Alfredo, since they were the highest finishing Xfinity Series regulars following the race at Talladega. Ryan Sieg was also eligible, due to winning the latest D4C race.[10] Alfredo would claim the $100K bonus cash after finishing 9th, seven positions ahead of his closest competitor, Riley Herbst.[11]

Background

[edit]
Dover Motor Speedway, the circuit where the race will be held.

Dover Motor Speedway is an oval race track in Dover, Delaware, United States that has held at least two NASCAR races since it opened in 1969. In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosted USAC and the NTT IndyCar Series. The track features one layout, a 1 mile (1.6 km) concrete oval, with 24° banking in the turns and 9° banking on the straights. The speedway is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.

The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995. Six years later in 2001, the track's capacity moved to 135,000 seats, making the track have the largest capacity of sports venue in the mid-Atlantic. In 2002, the name changed to Dover International Speedway from Dover Downs International Speedway after Dover Downs Gaming and Entertainment split, making Dover Motorsports. From 2007 to 2009, the speedway worked on an improvement project called "The Monster Makeover", which expanded facilities at the track and beautified the track. After the 2014 season, the track's capacity was reduced to 95,500 seats.

Qualifying

[edit]

Qualifying was held on Friday, April 26, at 3:30 PM EST.[12] Since Dover Motor Speedway is a short track, the qualifying system used is a single-car, two-lap system with only one round. Drivers will be on track by themselves and will have two laps to post a qualifying time. Whoever sets the fastest time in that round will win the pole.[14]

Brandon Jones, driving for JR Motorsports, would score the pole for the race, with a lap of 22.950, and a speed of 156.863 mph (252.447 km/h).[15]
