A steeply banked concrete mile nicknamed the Monster Mile, where cars are pushed hard into the banking every lap.
Dover is a concrete oval of exactly one mile with high banking, and the combination is unusually hard on both car and driver. The surface offers a different kind of grip from asphalt and behaves differently as it heats, and the short lap means the field is quickly spread through traffic.
The nickname is earned: it is physically demanding in a way that longer, flatter tracks are not.
