RELATED: Dale Jr. signs deal with NBC | Buy tickets for Dover races Drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey Logano, Matt Kenseth and Landon Cassill will participate in a Goodyear Tire test Tuesday at Dover International Speedway in advance of NASCAR's upcoming fall playoff race there. This will be an important test for teams before the triple-header race weekend on Sept. 29-Oct. 1 -- the third race and first elimination stage of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Admission is free and Dover's Allison Grandstand will be open to fans from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET for the session. "We're looking forward to opening our grandstands so fans can see Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series cars on the track prior to the fall race weekend," said Mike Tatoian, Dover International Speedway's president and CEO. "I'm excited to be able to meet some of our loyal guests and hope to see lots of families at the testing session." Only one more Goodyear Tire test is currently scheduled for the season -- Sept. 26 at Bristol Motor Speedway -- and it's set for 2018 tire development.
