Overview
- NASCAR canceled Saturday’s practice and qualifying at Dover due to persistent rain and deployed its performance-based metric—weighted on fastest laps, recent finishes and owner points—to set the lineup with Chase Elliott on pole.
- A late-race shower on Sunday halted the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 for 56 minutes and extended the event into double overtime.
- Denny Hamlin defended his lead on old tires in the final restart to capture back-to-back Dover titles and notch his fourth victory of the 2025 season.
- Crews grappled with a new Goodyear tire compound that went untested before the weekend, forcing teams to adapt setup and pit strategy on the fly.
- Joe Gibbs Racing placed two cars in the top five with Chase Briscoe second and Ty Gibbs fifth, while Hendrick Motorsports drivers Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson finished third and fourth.
