Dover International Speedway officials announced Wednesday that the track will return to its traditional spring NASCAR race weekend, June 1-3, in 2012. The fall race weekend will be held on Sept. 28-30, 2012, and will again be part of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

This season, the Dover spring race weekend came in mid-May, prior to the Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600, both at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The fall race weekend concludes with the Cup race on Oct. 2.

The spring weekend will feature the NASCAR Camping World Truck, Nationwide and Sprint Cup series. The fall weekend will carry the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, Nationwide and Sprint Cup series.

“Fans have been asking for a return to our June date, and we appreciate NASCAR’s help to meet their requests,” said Denis McGlynn, president and CEO of Dover Motorsports, Inc. “We’re also excited about offering new and lower ticket price options for our loyal fans next year.”
