DOVER, August 10, 2010: Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, in conjunction with sister company Dover Motorsports, will release the inaugural, limited edition Monster Mile® commemorative casino chip for the upcoming Sept. 24-26, 2010, NASCAR race weekend at Dover International Speedway®. The $5 commemorative chip is the first in a planned series to be designed for each subsequent NASCAR race weekend at the speedway.

“Dover Downs Hotel & Casino is happy to begin offering a series of collectible gaming chips,” said Pete Bradley, vice president and general manager of Casino Operations. “The initial Miles the Monster® casino chip is the first in this series, which will be offered at each of the spring and fall motorsports weekends at Dover International Speedway.”

The $5 chips can only be purchased at the casino table games area of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino, and only 5,000 chips are being produced. The chip depicts Miles the Monster, Dover International Speedway's signature icon. The concrete monster is spawned from the track's nickname, "The Monster Mile," and is also featured on the winner's trophy, tickets, memorabilia, and of course, the 46-foot-tall Monster Monument at Victory Plaza, presented by AAA.

The first Monster Mile casino chip will be available for sale beginning Wednesday, Sept. 22, only at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.
