NASCAR team reports as the Nextel Cup circuit gears up for the Dover 400 at Dover International Speedway on Sunday afternoon.
Jeff Gordon
No. 24 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: In 28 career starts at Dover, Gordon has four wins, three poles, 13 top-fives and 17 top-10s. He has led the most laps on five occasions, including 400 of 500 laps in 1995, 375 of 400 laps in 1998 and 381 of 400 laps in 2001.
Last week: Following his early exit from the Lowe's race because of an accident, Gordon's lead in the point standings dropped to 132 over teammate Jimmie Johnson. Gordon finished 41st.
Etc.: Gordon will use Car of Tomorrow chassis No. 24-428, which has been used once, in a victory from the pole at Phoenix. Gordon also won the COT race at Darlington and has three poles and three other top-fives in COT races.
Jimmie Johnson
No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Johnson owns three victories in 10 races at the "Monster Mile," including a sweep of both races in 2002 — his rookie season. Johnson's four victories are the most of any driver in 2007. Johnson will drive chassis No. 433 this weekend, and chassis No. 419 will serve as the backup. Neither chassis has been raced.
Last week: Johnson finished 10th in Sunday's 600-mile race at Lowe's Motor Speedway and is second in the 2007 points.
Etc: Johnson has felt the difference this year as he tries to defend his Nextel Cup title. "Winning the championship has brought a lot of confidence to me, and I feel established in the sport," he said.
Matt Kenseth
No. 17 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: Kenseth made his Cup debut at Dover in September 1998 at age 26. He substituted for Bill Elliott that day and drove to a sixth-place finish. Kenseth scored the first pole of his Cup career at Dover in June 2002; he has one win, four top-five and nine top-10 finishes in 15 Dover races. Kenseth's first Cup victory at Dover came last June. He also boasts two Busch Series wins there.
Last week: Kenseth finished 12th at Lowe's.
Etc: Kenseth has led 637 laps in Busch Series races at Dover, the most among all active drivers in the series. His seven top-five Busch finishes there is tops among all drivers, past or present.
Denny Hamlin
No. 11 Chevrolet, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: This will be Hamlin's third Cup race at Dover. He has one top-10 finish in his two previous races — he finished seventh in this race last June.
Last week: Hamlin finished ninth in the 600. "Our car was good," he said. "We were going to finish third, but everybody had to pit. Some guys got better fuel mileage than us. We just missed out there."
Etc: Hamlin applauded NASCAR's announcement last week that the COT would be run in all races in 2008. "I like it," Hamlin said. "I definitely think going to the car early is going to benefit our team."
Jeff Burton
No. 31 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Burton has one win, six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes in 26 Dover starts. His lone Dover victory came last September, snapping a 176-race winless streak. He has a 25.1 starting average and 17.5 finishing average at Dover.
Last week: Burton finished 24th at Charlotte.
Etc.: In the season's first 12 races, Burton has earned five top-five and seven top-10 finishes and has finished outside the top 25 only twice. He has a 22.75 starting average and 13.25 finishing average and sits fifth in the point standings. Over those same 12 races last season, Burton's average start was 16.66 and average finish was 16.45, and he was eighth in points.
Tony Stewart
No. 20 Chevrolet, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: On the cusp of victory a handful of times already this season, Stewart wants to win now. And while Victory Lane has so far eluded the two-time Nextel Cup champion, Dover may very well be the place where he earns his 30th career Nextel Cup win. Stewart has two wins, nine top-fives and 11 top-10s in 16 Cup starts at Dover.
Last week: Stewart is coming off a sixth-place finish at Lowe's.
Etc.: Stewart insists he's not worried about his lack of victories thus far this season, "especially with the way the points system is now. I'm not totally satisfied with it, but I don't think anyone is totally satisfied with the way their season is going."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Harvick has two top-five and five top-10 finishes, a 19.8 starting average and a 17.6 finishing average in 12 Cup starts at Dover. He will drive the same chassis he raced to a 17th-place finish two weeks ago at Darlington. "It is like a big Bristol," Harvick said of Dover.
Last week: Harvick climbed one spot in the standings after his 21st-place finish at Lowe's. The 2007 Daytona 500 winner is in seventh, 162 points out of the top five.
Etc.: Harvick tested at Virginia International Raceway on Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
Carl Edwards
No. 99 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: In five Cup starts at Dover, Edwards has one top-five and two top-10 finishes. His average start at Dover is 17th, his average finish is 12th. His best start and finish at the track came last September when he qualified sixth and finished second.
Last week: Edwards finished 15th in the Coca-Cola 600.
Etc.: Edwards has led a total of 23 laps at Dover, all but two of them in the fall race of 2006. "Dover is one of my favorite tracks," he said. "It's pretty much a one-groove track, so you need to handle well through the center of the corners in order to keep your position."
Kurt Busch
No. 2 Dodge, Penske Racing
This week: Busch is still looking for his first Dover win and pole after 13 career races. He has had two top-five finishes and four top-10s. He posted his career-best Dover finish, a fourth, in the most recent race there last September. He made his Cup racing debut at Dover on Sept. 24, 2000, finishing 18th.
Last week: Busch fell from seventh to ninth after his 32nd-place finish at Lowe's. "It's only a small step back, a momentary hiccup along the road," Busch said.
Etc.: Busch will be behind the wheel of his PRS 514 Dodge Avenger at Dover. It is the same car that the team raced to a fifth-place finish at Richmond on May 6.
Clint Bowyer
No. 07 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Bowyer, who has not yet won a Cup Series race, will make his 50th career Cup Series start in NASCAR's top division Sunday. He has competed in just two Cup races at Dover, finishing 17th last June and eighth last September. He won the Busch Series race at Dover last September. "The first time I went to Dover, we were terrible and I felt like I couldn't get out of my own way, and then when we went back, we had the fastest car and almost won the race," he said.
Last week: Bowyer was 29th at Lowe's.
Etc: Bowyer's 28th birthday was Wednesday.
Kyle Busch
No. 5 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Busch scored three straight top-five finishes in his first three Cup races at Dover before engine failure resulted in a 40th-place finish last September.
Last week: Busch's hopes of a top-10 finish at Lowe's were wiped out between laps 200 and 251 when he bounced hard off the wall twice. The second time resulted in heavy damage to the car and forced the team to go behind the wall for repairs. As a result, Busch limped home in 30th place.
Etc.: In the first five COT races, Busch has one win (Bristol) and four finishes of seventh or better.
Jamie McMurray
No. 26 Ford, Roush Racing
This week: A year ago, McMurray led 95 of the final 98 laps before getting passed by Roush Racing teammate Matt Kenseth with three laps to go. McMurray ended up second for his best finish ever at Dover. McMurray has two other top-10 finishes in his eight starts there.
Last week: McMurray was one of 13 cars involved in an early race accident that ended any chance McMurray had of scoring his second win at Lowe's. Instead, McMurray had to be content with a 19th-place finish in his battered race car.
Etc.: McMurray, an avid spokesman for autism awareness, hopes to bring more attention to the cause this weekend with an autism-themed paint scheme, driver's suit, helmet and gloves.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
No. 8 Chevrolet, DEI
This week: Earnhardt scored his lone win at Dover in September 2001 in the first major motorsports event following the 9/11 attacks on the United States. He has five other top-10 finishes at the track in 14 starts. "We've been hit-or-miss at Dover," said Earnhardt.
Last week: Earnhardt was forced to pit for fuel with only seven laps remaining to put an end to his hopes of a top-five finish. He finished eighth.
Etc.: Earnhardt said he pitted for fuel late in the Lowe's race because "we needed the strong finish for points, so we couldn't gamble on fuel like those guys (the top five) did."
Mark Martin
No. 01 Chevrolet, Ginn Racing
This week: Martin will be seeking his fifth win at Dover this weekend. In his previous 41 starts there, he has scored 19 top-five finishes, the most of any active driver. Martin also posted his first Busch Series win at the track in 1987. Overall, he has 25 top-10 finishes there, including four top-fours in the last six races.
Last week: Martin rallied from an early flat tire and handling problems to finish 11th in the Coca-Cola 600. Martin was running fifth when he pitted for gas on lap 391 of the 400-lap event.
Etc.: Martin is the only driver to have won in all three of NASCAR's major series at Dover.
J.J. Yeley
No. 18 Chevrolet, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: In three starts at Dover, Yeley's best finish is 25th. "Dover is going to be the biggest test for the COT car," he said. "It's the fastest race track that we will be on with the COT this year."
Last week: Conserving fuel enabled Yeley to finish second in the Coca-Cola 600 — the best finish of his young Nextel Cup career. Yeley jumped five spots in the point standings to 15th.
Etc.: Yeley will be driving the same car he ran last month at Richmond, where his 14th place was his best finish in a COT race to date.
Martin Truex Jr.
No. 1 Chevrolet, DEI
This week: Truex finished sixth last fall at Dover in his second Cup start at the track.
Last week: Despite getting caught up in a multi-car accident early in the 600, Truex was able to rally to finish 16th. "We had everything go wrong that could go wrong; we got caught up in a big wreck, my radio went out for a few laps and my eyes started burning for some reason," said Truex. "Still, we ended up with a pretty good finish."
Etc.: The top-16 finish at Lowe's enabled Truex to move up two spots in the point standings to 16th.
Bobby Labonte
No. 43 Dodge, Petty Enterprises
This week: Labonte scored his lone win at Dover in 1999. He has 13 other top-10 finishes in 29 starts at the track.
Last week: Labonte finished 13th in the 600 to climb from 19th to 17th in the standings.
Etc.: Labonte believes the "biggest challenge this week will be the Car of Tomorrow. We are all going in with blind eyes (after the Dover test was canceled earlier this month). And we only have a few hours (of practice) to get it right. ... There is a lot of information to find out — the shocks and springs, the tires on concrete and now the new (COT) cars are all factors you have to study."
Ryan Newman
No. 12 Dodge, Penske Racing
This week: Newman has won three times at Dover and has seven top-10s in his 10 starts at the one-mile track. He will be driving the same car that he ran at Richmond last month when he finished sixth.
Last week: After winning the pole and leading the first 10 laps of the race, Newman's day began to go downhill. First, he ran into tire problems to drop a lap down. Then, just after Newman had gotten back on the lead lap, the engine expired. Newman ended up 39th to fall from 13th to 18th in the standings.
Etc.: Newman has finished sixth or better in the last two COT races.
Greg Biffle
No. 16 Ford, Roush Racing
This week: Biffle has three top-10 finishes in the last four races run at Dover, including a victory in the 2005 spring race. He also has two Busch Series victories at the track.
Last week: Biffle's day was a short one at Lowe's — he lasted only 45 laps before major tire problems sent him hard into the backstretch wall. The damage to his car was so severe that he was forced to park it for the day, and he ended up 43rd (last) to drop from 16th to 19th in the standings.
Etc.: Greg Erwin is the new crew chief for the 16 team, replacing Pat Tryson. Erwin was most recently the crew chief at Robby Gordon Motorsports.
Elliott Sadler
No. 19 Dodge, Evernham Motorsports
This week: Sadler has only three top-10 finishes in 16 starts at Dover.
Last week: Sadler was one of the 13 cars involved in an accident on lap 53 at Lowe's. His car required extensive repairs in the garage. He returned to the track on lap 186 and finished 36th to drop to 20th in the Nextel Cup standings.
Etc.: Sadler admits the team is a "little frustrated that we didn't start off the season like we wanted to. We didn't have the COT down like we thought we should. I think it's made us all a little stronger and made us pull together a little more."
SUNDAY RACE WINNER
Casey Mears
No. 25 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: While Dover has not been a good track for Mears, he hopes to ride the momentum from Sunday's victory to another top-10 performance this weekend. He has one top-10 finish in eight starts at Dover.
Last week: Instead of trying to run down leader Tony Stewart, Mears decided to gamble on fuel mileage during the final 59 laps of the 600. And it was the right decision as Mears scored the biggest win of his career.
Etc.: Mears said his victory in the 600 "definitely solidifies that we are a team that can win races and can run up front."
OTHERS
David Stremme (No. 40 Dodge, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates) has not had much luck at Dover. He finished 41st and 18th in the two Nextel Cup races in 2006. And in six Busch Series starts at the track, his best finish is 16th. ... Reed Sorenson (No. 41 Dodge, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates) finished 11th last fall at Dover for his best Cup finish at the track in his rookie Nextel Cup season. He led 39 laps that afternoon. In four Busch Series starts at the track, Sorenson had four top-10 finishes, including a second in his first race at the speedway. ... Kyle Petty (No. 45 Dodge, Petty Enterprises) will be making his 50th start at Dover this weekend. His last Cup victory came at the track on June 4, 1995, when he led 271 laps. His third place at Lowe's was his best finish since the fall race at Dover in 1997. ... Casey Mears (No. 25 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports) has not done well at Dover, but he hopes to ride the momentum from Sunday's victory to another top-10 performance this weekend. "This (the 600 win) definitely solidifies that we are a team that can win races and can run up front," said Mears, who has one top-10 finish in eight starts at Dover. ... Brian Vickers (No. 83 Toyota, Red Bull Racing), even after his fifth-place finish at Lowe's, can't afford to look past Friday and qualifying since he remains outside the top 35 in car owner points.

As teams learn about the Car of Tomorrow, or the New Car, drivers must slow down enough to get it through the turns. If drivers follow that game plan at Dover International Speedway, it should be an exciting race.
There's always been good racing at The Monster Mile because it's a multi-groove track, where drivers can run high, low or in the middle. The New Car will continue to allow that to happen, and drivers will lean on each other a little bit more than normal.
Who to Watch
Jeff Gordon: Tied with Bill Elliott, Mark Martin and Ricky Rudd for most Dover wins among active drivers, Gordon also has two COT victories. Rick Hendrick and his whole organization have dominated the New Car races because they keep testing and gaining the necessary information to figure out the car. If they can do it, there's no reason the other organizations in NASCAR can't do it.
Jeff Burton: You've got to look at the drivers' past records at this track and expect them to be strong again. Burton won the last Cup race at Dover in September, and he finished second in the first Car of Tomorrow race on a similar high-banked concrete track at Bristol. Both Burton and Richard Childress Racing teammate Kevin Harvick should be solid this weekend.
Tony Stewart: With two wins at Dover, Stewart should lead Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and J.J. Yeley. The Gibbs cars have led the most COT laps, and they are very close to winning a race this year. They're not rolling over, throwing up their hands and quitting.
Elliott Sadler: If you listen to Ray Evernham talk about his program and watch his cars on the track, they're getting better. Sadler was caught up in a crash early last week, and Kasey Kahne showed moments of brilliance. The further we go into the season, these teams will get stronger and stronger.
What to Watch
Rollercoaster ride: A 400-mile race at the Monster Mile seems like 600 miles. It will wear you out. This racetrack can be harder on a driver than Charlotte because it's almost like a four-hour, roller-coaster ride. You go uphill and downhill. You'll get thrown sideways and back and forth. If your seat isn't right, your back can get tired in a hurry because you have to hold yourself in the seat. You need that seat to hold you. If a racer doesn't have his car exactly right, driver fatigue will set in early.
Focus factor: Also like Lowe's Motor Speedway, Dover is so fast that drivers have to stay focused and in anticipate the next turn. As you're coming up off the corner on the bottom, another driver will be rimriding around the top of the track. When you exit the corner, you're both fighting for the same real estate against the wall on the front and back straightaways. You've got to be on your guard for all 400 laps. The spotter has to be on his game and anticipate as well, noting drivers on the inside and outside so you don't get cut off or in advertently cut off somebody else.
Same COT issues: We're going to have some of the same issues because drivers will be unhappy with the way the car performs. It doesn't drive like they want it to drive, but that's going to be the case until NASCAR and Goodyear fine-tune their adjustments and make the car more driver-friendly.
No way for crews to prepare: Dover's pit road is one of the most dangerous on the circuit, and there's really no way to get ready for it. Crews will make their practice area smaller and tell the drivers to be very precise get into the pit box. When the adrenaline gets going, you throw caution to the wind, and you've got to trust that these drivers won't get into the outside wall or get into each other and wind up getting into you.
Race to the Chase:Jamie McMurray is hanging in the 12th position in the standings, and everybody is gunning for him. How about Dale Earnhardt Jr.? He looked impressive with an eighth-place finish and snuck up a little bit tighter in 13th place in the standings.
Expect unexpected:Sunday's Autism Speaks 400 will be our last race broadcast of the season so you've got to tune in to find out if there will be any surprises. You never know what's coming at you when NASCAR on FOX comes on Sunday from the Monster Mile.

Posted: 11 hours ago
Racing at Dover International Speedway is still survival.
It's a self-cleaning racetrack. One-car incidents are very rare because the straightaways are banked about as much as some corners are at other racetracks. When you wreck, you're going to go from the top to the bottom. It's normal to get other cars involved.
I'm anxious to see what kind of tire we will have because it's going to play a huge role in the race, but we're going to have a good Dover race, just like we good Darlington and Bristol races. Week in and week out, the teams keep learning more and more about the New Car.
It certainly would have been much better if they had a one-day test up there, but obviously getting rained out two weeks in a row prevented the scheduled test. NASCAR has discussed replacing the Dover test with one at another concrete, Car of Tomorrow track, Bristol Motor Speedway. The racing surface is being redone before we go back there in August.
Who to Watch
Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson: These Hendrick guys are going to be the ones you'll have to beat. Rick Hendrick is proud of how well his teams have run in the Car of Tomorrow, winning all five races, and four more wins in the current car. Not taking anything away from his teams, he said a lot of their wins happened when somebody else was running for a touchdown and fumbled the ball. They just happened to be there, pick it up and score. Last week at Lowe's Motor Speedway with Casey Mears wasn't much different.
Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart: With two wins, Stewart runs well at Dover. Hamlin has been good all year long in the Car of Tomorrow, especially his last outing at Darlington. Considering their record at Dover and over the first five COT races, it looks like Joe Gibbs Racing stands the biggest chance of beating the Hendrick cars.
Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman: The Penske group looked awfully good in the Car of Tomorrow at Darlington. They've always run well at Dover so don't count them out.
Jamie McMurray: Dover is a place where McMurray has run well, and the No. 26 team seems to really have its Car of Tomorrow act together.
What to Watch
Consistent track conditions: The tire will dictate strategywise, just like it played a huge role at Lowe's Motor Speedway last week. Even though Dover is a wide, one-mile racetrack, it can be a hard place to pass. Normally when you're good at the Monster Mile, you'll stay good because concrete isn't as susceptible to change as Lowe's was last week. If you start off good, you can just make minor adjustments and stay good. It's hard to dial yourself out of the ballgame because it's pretty consistent. If you're not good, you can make yourself better. We don't usually see a lot of comers and goers during the day after the start of the race, when somebody who didn't qualify well but has a good setup can move through the field quickly at the drop the green flag.
Precarious pits: Dover has one of the most treacherous pit entrances and pit roads on the circuit. Dover races settle down in the middle part of the event, and heading for green-flag stops, we see veterans completely spin out and miss the entrance to pit road. Pit lane is only wide enough for one car. We always see cars torn up on pit road, especially in the early part of the race when so many cars are on pit road for cautions. The pit boxes are small. One of the most important things about qualifying isn't where you start but getting good pit selection.
