NASCAR At Dover: Drivers Ready To Battle Monster Mile

There are plenty of storylines heading into NASCAR’s weekend at Dover International Speedway, but none looms larger at the start than the feud between Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch.

The drivers met in the NASCAR hauler before Camping World Truck Series practice on Thursday – likely warned by NASCAR to take their four-race probation seriously – but they’ll be on track together beginning with Friday afternoon’s Sprint Cup Series practices and Truck race.

Harvick continued to pick at Busch via Twitter this week – at one point asking why it was so quiet in “Candyland” – and it’s likely the Richard Childress Racing driver has no intention of letting it go. Busch, though, probably prefers to move on.

Aside from Harvick/Busch, there’s the aftermath of Regan Smith’s upset Darlington win and a host of other racing-related storylines.

Will Jimmie Johnson win again at the Monster Mile? He’s won three of the last four races here.

Will the Roush Fenway Racing cars return to their winning ways at Dover? Will Dale Earnhardt Jr. rebound from two disappointing weeks?

Stay tuned. We’ll find out together.
