AAA extends Dover NASCAR sponsorship, moves race to spring

Karl Malgiero/Delaware Public Media

AAA will remain the title sponsor for one of Dover’s two NACSAR Sprint Cup races for the next three years.

AAA and Dover International Speedway announced a three-year extension to their sponsorship agreement Wednesday, but there is one change.

After 7 years of sponsoring the Monster Mile’s fall Sprint Cup race, AAA will move its race sponsorship to the spring starting this year. The AAA 400 Drive For Autism will be Sunday, May 15th. Dover International Speedway has used its spring race to promote autism awareness for the last nine years.

This year’s spring race weekend in will also include a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday, May 13 and a NASCAR XFINITY Series race on Saturday, May 14.
