| Edwards Captains Team Dover |
The game, billed as
Team Dover vs. Team Pocono, marks the first time two NASCAR tracks have joined
forces to promote their respective races. Edwards, driver of the No. 99
Fastenal Ford, will lead the Monster Mile squad, while Burton, who pilots the
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet, will captain “The Tricky Triangle” team.
The teams rosters will
be filled out with drivers from the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series, as well Philadelphia-area athletes and celebrities, and
members of the local media. As they are announced, updated rosters will be
posted at DoverSpeedway.com and PoconoRaceway.com, as well as
Facebook.com/DoverInternationalSpeedway and Facebook.com/PoconoRaceway, and on
Twitter at @MonsterMile and @PoconoRaceway.
Gates open at 4 p.m.
with the game beginning at 4:30 p.m. Following the game, Edwards and Burton
will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the 7:05 p.m. Lancaster
Barnstormers vs. Camden Riversharks baseball game.
During the
Barnstormers vs. Riversharks game, both tracks will be giving away tickets to
their respective NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races each inning — the June 3 “FedEx
400 benefiting Autism Speaks” race for Dover and the June 10 “Pocono 400” race
