* The "M&M's" Racing Team has a solid shot at finishing in the top 10at Dover Downs. Irvan has three top-10 finishes in his last three starts at the 'Monster Mile,' including two with the "M&M's" Racing Team. Irvan finished ninth in the fall of 1997, ninth in the spring of 1998 and eighth in the fall of last year. He has a total of eight top-10 finishes at the track, including four top fives in the spring.

* Spring has been Irvan's season to shine at the high-banked, concrete oval. All four of Irvan's top-five finishes came in the spring, as well as two top-10 performances.

Ernie Irvan's thoughts on racing at Dover Downs International... "Dover Downs is a tough race track. The track didn't get the nickname 'The Monster Mile' by chance. But the "M&M's" Pontiac is going to be ready. Every time we go there we know it is 400 miles of tight racing. It takes a lot of concentration to race at Dover because it is a lot like a big Bristol with its banked turns and straight a ways. For the last couple of years Dover has been a great place for me. I think I have three straight top-10 finishes, including one with the "M&M's" Team."
