Dover Motor Speedway does not allocate specific parking spots to motorcycle or scooter operators. However, you are welcome to park those vehicles in the general parking lots. The cost for parking does not differentiate between vehicles.
From The North:
On Sunday of race weekend, as the parking lot accessible via the main entrance to the property fills to capacity, exit 104 off of Route 1 may be closed.
Traffic is then rerouted 5.3 miles South to Exit 95 (S. Dover, Dover Air Force Base). Temporary directional signs on Route 1 will provide additional guidance. Once exiting Route 1 at Exit 95, motorists may proceed straight on Route 13 North to Lot No. 1. Lot No. 1 is located off of Route 13 North at Jefferic Boulevard. Signage will direct you into this lot. Lot 1 is at the end of Jefferic Boulevard, at its intersection with Buckson Drive. Jefferic Boulevard is less than 1 mile southeast of Dover International Speedway’s main entrance off Route 13.
Note: For those coming from the North that wish to avoid the possible closing of Exit 104 on Sunday morning, Exit 119A (Smyrna) or Exit 114 (S. Smyrna) may be used. Proceed down Route 13 South and follow signs for Dover Motor Speedway.
From The South:
Motorists should proceed on to Lot 1. Lot 1 is located off of Route 13 North at Jefferic Boulevard. Signage will direct you into this lot. Lot 1 is at the end of Jefferic Boulevard, at its intersection with Buckson Drive. Jefferic Boulevard is less than 1 mile southeast of Dover Motor Speedway’s main entrance off Route 13.
Dover Motor Speedway seeks to provide reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals with disabilities.
We have three lots for persons with disabilities (Lot E, Turn 3 and South). The lots are monitored by the police to ensure that only persons with disabilities are in these lots.
If you are transporting someone with a disability, their hang tag must be displayed on your vehicle (provided the owner of the tag is being transported). The vehicle will be directed to the closest parking lot for persons with disabilities.
Note: The person with the disability (to whom the plate or hang tag was issued) must be the driver of, or passenger in, the vehicle when the vehicle is parked in parking areas for persons with disabilities.
