This past weekend was the spring race for NASCAR at Dover International Speedway. One might say “What would the archives possibly have on a NASCAR event?” For starters, we have lots of photographs. We have great aerial views of Dover Downs from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. It is incredible to see how the seating has changed over the years. We have a large newspaper collection that includes the Delaware State News going back to 1965. There are some wonderful articles about the track and such stars including Richard Petty, Bill Elliott, Neil Bonnet, and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
