Dover Motor Speedway’s 2026 Laps for Charity events are scheduled for Saturday, May 2, Saturday, Aug. 1 and Sunday, Sept. 27. Each event allows participants to drive multiple circuits around the one-mile, high-banked concrete oval that has challenged America’s best drivers every year since 1969.
For $75 per vehicle, participants can take five group laps around the track behind a Dover Motor Speedway pace vehicle. Those seeking a more unique experience can purchase an eight-lap VIP session for $125, giving participants the opportunity to be the only car on the track behind a track vehicle. Additional add-ons of pace car rides ($50) and pictures in front of the Monster Monument at Victory Plaza ($25) are also available.
Car clubs and groups interested in participating may contact Colin Ward at [email protected] for schedule availability. Passenger vehicles only (convertibles allowed).
Appropriate rollover protection is encouraged for convertibles, cabriolets, and open-top vehicles. This includes T-tops, Targa tops, fixed roll bars, fixed roll cages, and roll bars that automatically deploy in the event of a collision or rollover. Drivers and passengers in vehicles with their tops down should consider wearing eye protection, such as glasses or sunglasses.
Not permitted: Motorcycles, trikes, slingshots, or other all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).
