Dover Name change

[General Lee 01]

From Jayski's:

 

With Dover Downs Entertainment, Inc., about to become Dover Motorsports, Inc. following the spin-off of its gaming operations to its existing shareholders, it only seemed logical to drop the "Downs" part of the track name and anoint the Monster Mile with a new title. Dover Downs International Speedway has officially become "Dover International Speedway." "The time was right to make the change," said Denis McGlynn, President and CEO of Dover Downs. "Since the 'Downs' part of the title really has roots in horse racing, we deemed it appropriate to keep the Dover Downs name with the harness and gaming company and drop it from the motorsports operation." Indeed, "Downs" is a horse racing term that refers to the fact that most horse races in England finished on a downhill part of the course and grandstands were placed at that part of the course.(Dover Intl Speedway PR), shame it was a unigue and different name."

i don't think I'll ever call it Lowes Motor Speedway.  I'll always call it Charlotte.  But I usually just called Dover Downs, Dover anyway.
