The first round of this year’s Chase is down to the final race at Dover International Speedway this weekend. In this edition of Checkered Countdown the five best finishes ever occurred at this track are listed to get you in the right mood for the weekend.

Two drivers are already locked in the second round, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr thanks to their wins. For the other 14 everything is still possible and this will make for an interesting race to say the least. The fierce fight will take place on the high banks of Dover, a track that held its first NASCAR race way back in 1970. This Monster Mile was repaved in 1995 with concrete in place of the asphalt that was used previously. In 2015 Jimmie Johnson won his tenth race at this venue, an all-time record while Mark Martin has the most top tens with 33.

Don’t be afraid to tell us what you think of our top-five in the comments section!
