          (a)            Dover Motorsports, Inc.

          (b)            1131 N. DuPont Highway, Dover, DE 19901



Item 2.

          (a)            Eugene W. Weaver

          (b)            570 Winturford Drive, West Chester, PA 19382

          (c)            United States

          (d)            The class of equity security to which this Schedule 13G
                         relates is the Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), par
                         value $.10 per share, of Dover Motorsports, Inc., a
                         Delaware corporation (the "Company" or the "issuer").
                         The Common Stock is publicly traded. The ownership
                         reflected above includes both Common Stock and Class A
                         Common Stock. Class A Common Stock is not publicly
                         traded. Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to ten
                         (10) votes per share and is convertible at any time
                         into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at
                         the option of the shareholder. As a result, under Rule
                         13d, a holder of Class A Common Stock is deemed to have
                         beneficial ownership of the Common Stock which such
                         shareholder may acquire upon conversion of the Class A
                         Common Stock. The percentages set forth herein assume
                         the conversion of all shares of Class A Common Stock
                         beneficially owned by the Reporting Person into Common
                         Stock.
