Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The class of equity security to which this Schedule 13D relates is the Common
Stock (the "Common Stock"), par value $.10 per share, of Dover Motorsports,

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. The
