For the 18th consecutive year, what’s now known as the ARCA Menards Series East will race at Dover International Speedway in 2021.

And for the third consecutive year, the East Series race on the high-banked, one-mile concrete oval in Dover, Delaware, will be sponsored by General Tire.

The General Tire 125 is scheduled for Friday, May 14, as the opening race of the Monster Mile’s NASCAR tripleheader weekend set for May 14-16.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Monster Mile.” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for General Tire. “As General Tire continues our commitment to promoting regional and international series, this partnership is a natural fit as we continue to work to bring the fans exciting racing.”

The May 14-16 NASCAR tripleheader weekend at the Monster Mile also includes a NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, May 15, and the Drydene 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, May 16. The Drydene 400 will be the 103rd NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover, one of only 10 tracks in the country to host 100 or more Cup Series events.

The East Series has been a staple of Dover’s race calendar every year since 2004. Past Dover winners in the series include Aric Almirola, Harrison Burton and Bubba Wallace.
