The first round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup concludes Sunday at Dover International Speedway where the four lowest ranked drivers without a win will be eliminated from NASCAR's playoffs.
Start time: The green flag waves on the Citizen Soldier 400 at 2:15 p.m. ET.
Distance: The scheduled distances calls for drivers to complete 400 laps around the one-mile, high-banked concrete oval that resembles a giant cereal bowl.
National anthem: "The Star Spangled Banner" will be performed by country music artist Easton Corbin, who will also play a prerace concert.
TV/Radio/Stream coverage: NBCSN will provide the television coverage beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET, and the network will also stream the race at NBCSports.com. Motor Racing Network will handle the radio broadcast, with SiriusXM NASCAR simulcasting MRN's coverage.
Defending race winner: Coming through in a race he needed to remain in the Chase, a dominant Kevin Harvick led a career-best 89 percent of the laps to win and advance. He would go on to finish runner-up to Kyle Busch in the championship.
