DOVER, Del. – The Hangout, an all-new hospitality attraction giving fans a spot to relax, dine and socialize before and during NASCAR events at Dover International Speedway, will be opening for the 2016 racing season, track officials announced today.

In the spring, The Hangout will be open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, prior to the NASCAR XFINITY Series Dash 4 Cash race and at 9 a.m. Sunday, May 15, before the “AAA 400 Drive for Autism" NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. In the fall, The Hangout will be open at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, before the “Drive Sober 200" NASCAR XFINITY Series race presented by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety and at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
