Item 1.

Business

Dover Motorsports, Inc. is a public holding company that is a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. Through our subsidiaries, we own and operate Dover International Speedway^® in Dover, Delaware and Nashville Superspeedway^® near Nashville, Tennessee. We closed Gateway International Raceway^® near St. Louis, Missouri, after the 2010 race season and will not promote any future events there — see further discussion below. These three facilities promoted 13 major events during 2010 under the auspices of two of the premier sanctioning bodies in motorsports — the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”) and the National Hot Rod Association (“NHRA”).

In 2010, we promoted the following major events:

•

2 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events;

•

6 NASCAR Nationwide Series events;

•

4 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events; and

•

1 NHRA event.

In 2011, we are scheduled to promote 9 major events, all of which will be sanctioned by NASCAR.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from admissions, event-related and broadcasting revenues attributable to our NASCAR-sanctioned events at Dover International Speedway which were held in May and September. Total revenues from these events were approximately 80% of total revenues for 2010 and approximately 70% for 2009 and 2008.

We generate revenues primarily from the following sources:

•

ticket sales;

•

rights fees obtained for television and radio broadcasts of our events and ancillary rights fees;

•

sponsorship payments;

•

luxury suite rentals;

•

hospitality tent rentals and catering;

•

concessions and souvenir sales and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our facilities;

•

expo space rentals; and

•

track rentals and other event-related revenues.

We began our motorsports operations in 1969 in Dover, Delaware. Our predecessor, Dover Downs, Inc., was also engaged in harness horse racing operations and later ran our other gaming operations. As a result of several restructurings, our operations were segregated into two main operating subsidiaries — Dover International Speedway, Inc., incorporated in 1994, encompassed our motorsports operations, and Dover Downs, Inc., incorporated in 1967, conducted our gaming operations.

Effective March 31, 2002, we spun-off our gaming business which was then owned by our subsidiary, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (“Gaming”). On a tax-free basis, we made a pro rata distribution of all of the capital stock of Gaming to our stockholders. Our continuing operations subsequent to the spin-off consist solely of our motorsports activities.

We closed our Memphis Motorsports Park facility in October 2009 and executed an agreement to sell it in December 2010. The real estate sale closed on January 31, 2011. After closing costs and including the proceeds from the separate sale of all personal property at the facility, our net proceeds were approximately $2,000,000, all of which was used to pay down indebtedness of the Memphis facility. Since the carrying amount of the long-lived assets of the Memphis facility exceeded the sales price, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $809,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In November 2010, we announced the closing of our Gateway facility. The Gateway facility is located on approximately 290 acres of land in Madison, Illinois and the racetrack is primarily on leased property. We had long-term leases for approximately 150 acres with four landlords. We also own approximately 140 acres near the Gateway facility. In February 2011, three of the four landlords agreed to terminate the land leases in exchange for 18.5 acres of owned real estate and our agreement to abandon all improvements and certain personal property (including the racetrack) on the leased land. As a result, we recorded an expense for facility exit costs of $324,000 at December 31, 2010 primarily to record a liability for the value of the real property we conveyed to the landlords in connection with terminating the leases. As part of the lease termination agreement with one of the landlords, we provided a six month purchase option on the remaining approximately 120 acres of owned land at $10,000 per acre, which approximates our carrying value.

Dover International Speedway

We have promoted NASCAR-sanctioned racing events for 42 consecutive years at Dover International Speedway and currently promote five major NASCAR-sanctioned events at the facility annually. Two races are in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series professional stock car racing circuit, two races are in the NASCAR Nationwide Series racing circuit and one race is in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing circuit. Both NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Dover are scheduled to be broadcast on network television in 2011.

Each of the NASCAR Nationwide Series events and the Camping World Truck Series event at Dover International Speedway are conducted on the days before a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event. Dover International Speedway is one of only seven speedways in North America that presents two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events and two NASCAR Nationwide Series events each year. Additionally, it is one of only seven tracks to host three major NASCAR events at one facility on the same weekend. The spring and fall event dates have historically allowed Dover International Speedway to hold the first and last NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in the Maryland to Maine region each year. Our fall event has historically been the second of ten races in the “Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup” which determines the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion for the racing season. Starting in 2011, our fall event will be the third race to determine the championship.

Dover International Speedway, widely known as “the Monster Mile^®,” is a high-banked, one-mile, concrete superspeedway with permanent seating capacity of approximately 132,000. Unlike some superspeedways, substantially all grandstand and skybox seats offer an unobstructed view of the entire track. The concrete racing surface makes Dover International Speedway the only concrete superspeedway (one mile or greater in length) that conducts NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. The superspeedway facility also features the Monster Bridge^®. The climate controlled bridge spans across the width of the superspeedway at a height of 29 feet and houses 50-luxury seats, a refreshment bar and other amenities. The Monster Bridge is the only one of its kind in the motorsports industry and has been patented.

Nashville Superspeedway

In April 2001, we opened Nashville Superspeedway (“Nashville”) — a motorsports complex approximately 30 miles from downtown Nashville in Wilson County, Tennessee. The 1.33-mile concrete superspeedway has 25,000 permanent grandstand seats with an infrastructure in place to expand to 150,000 seats as demand requires. Additionally, construction included lights at the superspeedway to allow for nighttime racing and the foundation work for a dirt track, short track and drag strip. Nashville Superspeedway promoted two NASCAR Nationwide Series events and two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event during the 2010 season. The facility also hosted other regional and national touring events, as well as track rentals.

Gateway International Raceway

Gateway International Raceway (“Gateway”) promoted four major events in 2010 — two NASCAR Nationwide Series events, a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event and an NHRA national event. The facility also hosted a number of regional and national touring events, as well as weekly events on its drag strip and road course rentals.

The auto racing facility includes a 1.25-mile paved oval track with 54,000 permanent seats, a nationally renowned drag strip capable of seating approximately 30,000 people and a road course. The facility, which is equipped with lights for nighttime racing, is located just across the Mississippi River in Madison, Illinois, within view of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

We closed the Gateway facility in the fourth quarter of 2010 and terminated the majority of our leases for the real property underlying the racetrack in February 2011.

Memphis Motorsports Park

Memphis Motorsports Park (“Memphis”) promoted no events in 2010.

The auto racing facility includes a 0.75-mile paved tri-oval track with approximately 20,000 permanent seats and a drag strip capable of seating approximately 25,000 people. The facility is located approximately 10 miles northeast of downtown Memphis, Tennessee.

We closed the Memphis facility in the fourth quarter of 2009 and held an auction for the real and personal property comprising the facility on December 14, 2010. An agreement of sale was entered into on that date and the sale closed on January 31, 2011.

Agreements with NASCAR

Sanction agreements are entered into with NASCAR on an annual basis. Pursuant to the typical NASCAR sanction agreement, NASCAR grants its sanction to a promoter, such as Dover International Speedway, to organize, promote and hold a particular competition. The promoter sells tickets to the competition, sells or arranges for the sale of merchandise and concessions, and sells advertising, sponsorships and hospitality services. NASCAR conducts the competition, arranges for the drivers, and has sole control over the competition, including the right to require alterations to the promoter’s facility and the right to approve or disapprove any advertising or sponsorship of the promoter. NASCAR also has exclusive rights to exploit live broadcast and certain broadcast and intellectual property rights related to the competition, and exclusive rights to sponsorship and promotional rights relative to the series to which a particular competition belongs. The promoter must pay the sanction fee and purse monies and receives a share of the live broadcast revenue contracted for by NASCAR. The promoter is responsible for the condition of the facility, for compliance with laws, for control of the public, for fire and medical equipment and personnel, for security, for insurance and for providing facilities and services required by NASCAR officials and the live broadcast personnel.

Dover International Speedway, Inc. has entered into two sanction agreements with NASCAR pursuant to which it will organize and promote two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in 2011. Our business is substantially dependent on these two agreements. The economic terms of the two sanction agreements between NASCAR and Dover International Speedway relative to its 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competitions are as follows: Total purse and sanction fee to be paid by Dover International Speedway is $6,097,000 for the May event and $5,450,000 for the October event. Estimated live broadcast revenue to be received by Dover International Speedway is $13,109,000 for the May event and $10,857,000 for the October event. Live broadcast revenue figures are based on the assumption that all events on the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule take place and that all promoters will be entitled to their respective percentage allocations as set by NASCAR. Dover International Speedway is also entitled to share, along with other promoters, in income which NASCAR derives from exploiting certain broadcast and intellectual property rights. Revenue for such rights attributable to Dover International Speedway’s 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competitions amounted to approximately $600,000 and we reasonably anticipate that this will approximate the amount for its 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competitions.

The following is a listing of our NASCAR events for 2011:


Subsidiary	Event	Date
Dover International Speedway, Inc.	NASCAR Sprint Cup Series		May 15, 2011

Impairment Charges Recorded in 2010

Based upon the economic conditions that existed in the second quarter of 2010 and their impact on our current and projected operations and cash flows, and the potential impact on real estate valuations, combined with our decision to notify NASCAR that we would not seek 2011 sanctions for the two Nationwide Series and one Camping World Truck Series events at our Gateway facility, we concluded that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets at Gateway for impairment. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. As a result of the recoverability test, we concluded that the carrying amount of our Gateway facility exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.

Since the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value, an impairment charge was recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value. Fair value of the assets for the Gateway facility was determined based on the value of owned real estate at the facility. The long-lived assets deemed to be impaired consisted of track facilities.

Based on the results of this analysis, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of 2010 to write-down the carrying value of long-lived assets at our Gateway facility to fair value, as follows:


	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets		Fair Value of Long-Lived Assets		Non-Cash Impairment Charges
Gateway facility	$	9,464,000	$	1,500,000	$	7,964,000

Impairment Charge Recorded in 2009

We had an earlier agreement of sale relative to our Memphis Motorsports Park facility which expired in September 2009, and as a result, we concluded in the third quarter of 2009 that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Memphis facility for impairment. The fair value of the assets for the Memphis facility was previously determined based upon the terms of the agreement of sale for purposes of our impairment assessment. The recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and

eventual disposition of the asset. As a result of the recoverability test, we concluded that the carrying amount of our Memphis facility exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.

Based on the results of this analysis, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009 to write-down the carrying value of long-lived assets at our Memphis facility to fair value, as follows:


	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets		Fair Value of Long-Lived Assets		Non-Cash Impairment Charge
Memphis facility	$	10,278,000	$	2,800,000	$	7,478,000

Impairment Charges Recorded in 2008

Based upon economic conditions that existed in the fourth quarter of 2008 and their impact on our current and projected operations and cash flows, and the potential impact on real estate valuations, combined with the fact that there was no change in the allocation of broadcast revenues to the NASCAR Nationwide Series for 2009, we concluded in the fourth quarter of 2008 that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of each of our Midwest facilities, consisting of Nashville, Memphis and Gateway, for impairment. The recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. As a result of the recoverability test, we concluded that the carrying amount of each of our Midwest facilities exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.

Since the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value, an impairment charge was recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value. Fair value of the assets for the Nashville and Gateway facilities was determined using a valuation methodology that consisted of the cost approach, which gave specific consideration to the value of the land plus contributory value to the improvements, and the comparable sales approach. Based upon the cost approach utilized for the valuations, there is an assumption that these two facilities will continue to operate as racetracks and it is our intention to continue operating them unless it is determined that future prospects no longer justify such action. Fair value of the assets for Memphis was determined using a valuation methodology that considered the terms of our agreement of sale and the comparable sales approach. The long-lived assets deemed to be impaired consisted of track facilities. These facilities have generated negative cash flows for several years and we expect that these negative cash flows will continue as we monitor industry and Nationwide series changes made by NASCAR while continuing our efforts to reduce operating expenses and increase revenues.

Based on the results of this analysis, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $12,795,000 in 2008 to write-down the carrying value of long-lived assets at our Midwest facilities to fair value.

Competition

Our racing events compete with other racing events sanctioned by various racing bodies and with other sports and recreational events scheduled on the same dates. Racing events sanctioned by different organizations are often held on the same dates at different tracks. The quality of the competition, type of racing event, caliber of the event, sight lines, ticket pricing, location and customer conveniences, among other things, differentiate the motorsports facilities.

Seasonality

We derive a substantial portion of our total revenues from admissions, television broadcast rights and other event-related revenue attributable to major motorsports events held from April through October. As a result, our business is highly seasonal.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 68 full-time employees and 6 part-time employees. We engage temporary personnel to assist during our motorsports racing season, many of whom are volunteers. We believe that we enjoy a good relationship with our employees.

Our Relationships With and the Success of NASCAR Is Vital To Our Success In Motorsports

Our continued success in motorsports is dependent upon the success of NASCAR and our ability to secure favorable contracts with and maintain a good working relationship with them. NASCAR regularly issues and awards sanctioned events and their issuance depends, in large part, on maintaining good working relationships with NASCAR. Our NASCAR events are sanctioned on an annual basis with no contractual obligation to renew. By awarding a sanctioned event or a series of sanctioned events, NASCAR does not warrant, nor are they responsible for, the financial success of any sanctioned event. Our success is directly tied to our ability to negotiate favorable terms to our sanction agreements, including the amount of the sanction fee and purse, and our ability to continue to derive economic benefits from such agreements, such as our share of live broadcast revenues.

Our ability to obtain additional sanctioned events in the future and to negotiate favorable terms to our sanction agreements and the success of NASCAR in attracting drivers and teams, signing series sponsors and negotiating favorable television and/or radio broadcast rights is dependent on many factors which are largely outside of our control. As our success depends on the terms of our sanction agreements and the success of each event or series that we are promoting, a material change in the terms of a sanction agreement or a material adverse effect on NASCAR, such as the loss or defection of top drivers, the loss of significant series sponsors, or the failure to obtain favorable broadcast coverage or to properly advertise the event or series could result in a reduction in our revenues from live broadcast coverage, admissions, luxury suite rentals, sponsorships, hospitality, concessions and merchandise, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We Rely On Sponsorship Contracts To Generate Revenues

We receive a portion of our annual revenues from sponsorship agreements, including the sponsorship of our various events and venues, such as “title,” “official product” and “promotional partner” sponsorships, billboards, signage and skyboxes. We are continuously in negotiations with existing sponsors and actively seeking new sponsors as there is significant competition for sponsorships. Some of our events may not secure a “title” sponsor every year, may not secure a sufficient number of sponsorships on favorable terms, or may not secure sponsorships sufficiently enough in advance of an event for maximum impact. Loss of our existing title sponsors or other major sponsorship agreements or failure to secure sponsorship agreements in the future on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Motorsports Events Face Intense Competition For Attendance, Television Viewership And Sponsorship

We compete with other auto speedways for the patronage of motor racing spectators as well as for sponsorships. Moreover, racing events sanctioned by different organizations are often held on the same dates at different tracks. The quality of the competition, type of racing event, caliber of the event, sight lines, ticket pricing, location and customer conveniences, among other things, distinguish the motorsports facilities. In addition, all of our events compete with other sports and recreational events scheduled on the same dates. As a result, our revenues and operations are affected not only by our ability to compete in the motorsports promotion market, but also by the availability of alternative spectator sports events, forms of entertainment and changing consumer preferences.

General Market And Economic Conditions, Including Consumer And Corporate Spending, Could Negatively Affect Our Financial Results

Our financial results depend significantly upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer and corporate spending, including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income and corporate budgets such as employment, business conditions, interest rates and taxation rates.

These factors can impact both attendance at our events and advertising and marketing dollars available from the motorsports industry’s principal sponsors and potential sponsors. Economic and other lifestyle conditions such as illiquid consumer and business credit markets adversely affect consumer and corporate spending thereby impacting our growth, revenue and profitability. Unavailability of credit on favorable terms or increases in interest rates can adversely impact our operations, growth, development and capital spending plans. General economic conditions were significantly and negatively impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq and could be similarly affected by any future attacks, by a terrorist attack at any mass gathering or fear of such attacks, or by

other acts or prospects of war. Any future attacks or wars or related threats could also increase our expenses related to insurance, security or other related matters. A weakened economic and business climate, as well as consumer uncertainty and the loss of consumer confidence created by such a climate, could adversely affect our financial results.

The Sales Tax And Property Tax Revenues To Service The Revenue Bonds For Infrastructure Improvements At Nashville May Be Inadequate

In September 1999, the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson (Tennessee) issued $25,900,000 in revenue bonds to build local infrastructure improvements which benefit the operation of Nashville Superspeedway, of which $21,000,000 was outstanding on December 31, 2010. Debt service on the bonds is payable solely from sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $1,200,000 and $915,000, respectively, was available in the sales and incremental property tax fund maintained by the Sports Authority to pay the remaining principal and interest due under the bonds. During 2010, we paid $1,038,000 into the sales and incremental property tax fund and $753,000 was deducted from the fund for principal and interest payments. These bonds are direct obligations of the Sports Authority and are therefore not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. In the event the sales taxes and incremental property taxes are insufficient to cover the payment of principal and interest on the bonds, we would become responsible for the difference. We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds. A significant increase in interest rates could result in us being responsible for debt service payments not covered by the sales and incremental property taxes generated from the facility. In the event we were unable to make the payments, they would be made under a $21,352,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group. We would be responsible to reimburse the banks for any drawings made under the letter of credit. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and compliance with debt covenants.

We Have a Significant Amount of Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2010, we had total outstanding long-term debt of $38,200,000 under our credit facility. This is in addition to the Nashville Bonds described above. This indebtedness and any future increases in our outstanding borrowings could:

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations;

•

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business;

•

increase our costs or difficulties in refinancing or replacing our outstanding obligations;

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and other general corporate purposes;

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•

subject us to the risks that interest rates and our interest expense will increase; and

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt.

In addition, our credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains financial ratios that we are required to meet and other restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends, borrow additional funds, make acquisitions, create liens on our properties and make investments.

Our ability to meet these financial ratios and covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet them. If there were an event of default under our credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay these amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness.

available financing options. We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to address the credit facility expiration.

The Seasonality Of Our Motorsports Events Increases The Variability Of Quarterly Earnings

Our business has been, and is expected to remain, seasonal given that it depends on our outdoor events for a substantial portion of revenues. We derive a substantial portion of our motorsports revenues from admissions, event-related and broadcasting revenue attributable to our NASCAR-sanctioned events at Dover, Delaware which were held in May and September. Total revenues from these events were approximately 80% of total revenues for 2010 and approximately 70% for 2009 and 2008. This has been offset to some degree by our other motorsports events, but quarterly earnings will vary. All of our operating earnings are derived from our Dover facility.

With the closing of our Gateway facility, the portion of our motorsports revenues attributable to our NASCAR-sanctioned events at Dover will increase in the future. We estimate that approximately 90% of our total revenues will be generated by our Dover facility starting in 2011.

Our Insurance May Not Be Adequate To Cover Catastrophic Incidents

We maintain insurance policies that provide coverage within limits that are sufficient, in the opinion of management, to protect us from material financial loss incurred in the ordinary course of business. We also purchase special event insurance for motorsports events to protect against race-related liability. However, there can be no assurance that this insurance will be adequate at all times and in all circumstances. If we are held liable for damages beyond the scope of our insurance coverage, including punitive damages, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, sanctioning bodies could impose more stringent rules and regulations for safety, security and operational activities. Such regulations have included, for example, the installation of new retaining walls at our facilities, which have increased our capital expenditures, and increased security procedures which have increased our operational expenses.

Bad Weather Can Have An Adverse Financial Impact On Our Motorsports Events

We sponsor and promote outdoor motorsports events. Weather conditions, or even the forecast of poor weather, can affect sales of tickets, concessions and merchandise at these events. Although we sell many tickets well in advance of the outdoor events and these tickets are issued on a non-refundable basis, poor weather may adversely affect additional ticket sales and concessions and merchandise sales, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not currently maintain weather-related insurance for major events. Due to the importance of clear visibility and safe driving conditions to motorsports racing events, outdoor racing events may be significantly affected by weather patterns and seasonal weather changes. Any unanticipated weather changes could impact our ability to stage events. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Postponement And/Or Cancellation Of Major Motorsports Events Could Adversely Affect Us

If one of our events is postponed because of weather or other reasons such as, for example, the general postponement of all major sporting events in this country following the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks, we could incur increased expenses associated with conducting the rescheduled event, as well as possible decreased revenues from tickets, concessions and merchandise at the rescheduled event. If an event is cancelled, we could incur the expenses associated with preparing to conduct the event as well as lose the revenues, including live broadcast revenues associated with the event.

If a cancelled event is part of a NASCAR series, we could experience a reduction in the amount of money received from television revenues for all of our NASCAR-sanctioned events in the series that experienced the cancellation. This would occur if, as a result of the cancellation, and without regard to whether the cancelled event

was scheduled for one of our facilities, NASCAR experienced a reduction in broadcast revenues greater than the amount scheduled to be paid to the promoter of the cancelled event.

Due To Our Concentrated Stock Ownership, Stockholders May Have No Effective Voice In Our Management

We have elected to be treated as a “controlled corporation” as defined by New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Rule 303A. We are a controlled corporation because a single person, Henry B. Tippie, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, controls in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. This means that he has the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors at our annual meetings and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power. Such a concentration of voting power could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us at a premium. In addition, as a controlled corporation, we are not required to comply with certain NYSE rules.

We may not be able to maintain our listing with the NYSE

Our Common Stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “DVD.” We are required to maintain market capitalization of more than $50,000,000 (measured over a 30 day trading period) or stockholders’ equity of more than $50,000,000 in order to remain in compliance with NYSE continued listing standards. As of December 31, 2010, our stockholders’ equity was approximately $54.3 million. As of December 31, 2010, our 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $66.0 million. During 2010, it has ranged from approximately $63.0 million to $80.9 million. If we were to fail to maintain the required stockholders’ equity and market capitalization, our stock could be delisted from trading on the NYSE. While we would typically be given the opportunity to submit an 18 month plan to the NYSE to demonstrate our ability to regain compliance with continued listing standards, there is no assurance that we would be able to formulate such a plan or that it would be accepted by the NYSE. The delisting of our stock from trading on the NYSE would result in the need to find another market on which our stock can be listed or cause our stock to cease trading on an active market, which could result in a reduction in the liquidity for our stock and a reduction in demand for our stock.

Non-compliance with NYSE continued listing standards or delisting from the NYSE could negatively impact us, including, without limitation, our relationships with stockholders, businesses and lenders, our access to debt and equity financing, and our ability to attract and retain personnel by means of equity compensation. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market generally have significantly less liquidity than securities traded on a national securities exchange, through factors such as a reduction in the number of investors that will consider investing in the securities, the number of market makers in the securities, reduction in securities analyst and news media coverage and lower market prices than might otherwise be obtained.

Our Success Depends on the Availability and Performance of Key Personnel

Our continued success depends upon the availability and performance of our senior management team which possesses unique and extensive industry knowledge and experience. Our inability to retain and attract key employees in the future, could have a negative effect on our operations and business plans.

We are Subject to Changing Governmental Regulations and Legal Standards that Could Increase Our Expenses

Our motorsports facilities are on large expanses of property which we own or lease. Laws and regulations governing the use and development of real estate may delay or complicate any improvements we choose to make and/or increase the costs of any improvements or our costs of operating.

If it is determined that damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment has been caused or exacerbated by the operation or conduct of our business or by pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes used, generated or disposed of by us, or if pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes are found on property currently or previously owned or operated by us, we may be held liable for such damage and may be required to pay the cost of investigation and/or remediation of such contamination or any related damage.

State and local laws relating to the protection of the environment also can include noise abatement laws that may be applicable to our racing events. In addition certain laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act are constantly evolving. Changes in the provisions or application of federal, state or local environmental, land use or other laws, regulations or requirements to our facilities or operations, or the discovery of previously unknown conditions, could require us to make additional material expenditures to remediate or attain compliance.

Regulations governing the use and development of real estate may prevent us from acquiring or developing prime locations for motorsports entertainment facilities, substantially delay or complicate the process of improving existing facilities, and/or increase the costs of any of such activities.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments, events or conditions. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ significantly from those forecast in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, stockholders should not overly rely or attach undue weight to our forward-looking statements as an indication of our actual future results.

Properties

Dover International Speedway

Dover International Speedway is located in Dover, Delaware, on approximately 770 acres of land we own. Prior to the spin-off of Gaming from our company in 2002, both companies shared certain real property in Dover, Delaware. At the time of the spin-off, some of this real property was transferred to Gaming to ensure that the real property holdings of each company was aligned with its past uses and future business needs. During its harness racing season, Gaming has historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on our property and is on the inside of our one-mile motorsports superspeedway. In order to continue this historic use, we granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to Gaming at the time of the spin-off. This perpetual easement allows Gaming to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period. The easement requires that Gaming maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent.

Various easements and agreements relative to access, utilities and parking have also been entered into between us and Gaming relative to our respective Dover, Delaware facilities. We pay rent to Gaming for the lease of our principal executive office space. Gaming also allows us to use its indoor grandstands in connection with our two annual motorsports weekends. This occasional grandstand use is not material to us and Gaming does not assess rent for it; Gaming may also discontinue our use at its discretion.

Nashville Superspeedway

Nashville Superspeedway is located on approximately 1,400 acres of land we own in Wilson County and Rutherford County, Tennessee. The facility is approximately 35 miles from downtown Nashville.

Gateway International Raceway

Gateway International Raceway is located on approximately 290 acres of land in Madison, Illinois, five miles from the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. We own approximately 140 acres and have long-term leases with purchase options (expiring in 2011, 2025 and 2070) for approximately 150 additional acres.

We closed the Gateway facility in the fourth quarter of 2010 and terminated the majority of our leases for the real property underlying the racetrack in February 2011.

Memphis Motorsports Park

Memphis Motorsports Park is located on approximately 350 acres of land we own approximately ten miles northeast of downtown Memphis, Tennessee. We closed the Memphis facility in the fourth quarter of 2009 and held an auction for the real and personal property comprising the facility on December 14, 2010. An agreement of sale was entered into on that date and the sale closed on January 31, 2011.

Intellectual Property

We have various registered and common law trademark rights, including, but not limited to, “Dover,” “Dover Motorsports,” “Dover International Speedway,” “Nashville Speedway,” “Nashville Superspeedway,” “Gateway International Raceway,” “Memphis Motorsports Park,” “Gateway Guy,” “Monster Mile,” “Velocity,” “Monster Bridge,” “The Most Exciting Seat in Sports!,” “Concrete Monster,” “Miles the Monster,” “Take a Kid to the Races.” We also have limited rights to use the names and logos of NASCAR, various sponsors, drivers and other businesses in connection with promoting our events and certain merchandising programs. Due to the value of our intellectual property rights for promotional purposes, it is our intention to vigorously protect these rights, through litigation, if necessary.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

We are a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operation

The following discussion is based upon and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this document.

We classify our revenues as admissions, event-related, broadcasting and other. “Admissions” includes ticket sales for all our events. “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and souvenir sales and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our facilities; sales of programs; track rentals and other event-related revenues. “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for television and radio broadcasts of events held at our speedways and ancillary media rights fees.

Revenues pertaining to specific events are deferred until the event is held. Concession revenue from concession stand sales and sales of souvenirs are recorded at the time of sale. Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which we receive advertising or other goods or services in exchange for sponsorships of motorsports events are recorded at fair value. Barter transactions accounted for $848,000, $936,000 and $1,163,000 of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Expenses that are not directly related to a specific event are recorded as incurred. Expenses that specifically relate to an event are deferred until the event is held, at which time they are expensed. These expenses include prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to various sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR, labor, marketing, cost of goods sold for merchandise and souvenirs, and other expenses associated with the promotion of our racing events.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2010 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2009

Admissions revenue was $19,251,000 in 2010 as compared to $24,741,000 in 2009. The $5,490,000 decrease was primarily related to lower admissions revenue at our NASCAR event weekends at Dover International Speedway and to a lesser extent lower admissions at the other major events we promoted during 2010. We promoted thirteen major events during 2010 and fourteen during 2009. We believe the decrease in attendance was attributable primarily to the general downturn in economic conditions, including those affecting disposable consumer income and corporate budgets such as employment, business conditions, interest rates and taxation rates. We believe that adverse economic trends, particularly credit availability, the decline in consumer confidence and the rise in unemployment have increasingly contributed to the decrease in attendance. Additionally, revenue associated with our special and weekly events at our Memphis facility did not recur in 2010 since that facility closed during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Event-related revenue was $15,010,000 in 2010 as compared to $17,971,000 in 2009. The $2,961,000 decrease was primarily related to lower hospitality and luxury suite rentals, as well as lower concessions and souvenir sales as a result of the lower attendance and the aforementioned economic conditions. Additionally, revenue associated with our special and weekly events at our Memphis facility did not recur.

Broadcasting revenue increased to $28,681,000 in 2010 from $27,999,000 in 2009. The increase resulted entirely from higher broadcasting revenue for our NASCAR-sanctioned events promoted during 2010.

Operating and marketing expenses were $43,641,000 in 2010 as compared to $50,466,000 in 2009. The decrease was primarily related to cost savings from the closing of our Memphis facility during the fourth quarter of 2009, cost cutting measures that reduced operating expenses at most major events promoted during 2010 and lower costs associated with the decline in event-related revenue.

General and administrative expenses were $13,254,000 in 2010 and $12,174,000 in 2009. The increase was primarily related to higher real estate taxes at our Gateway facility. Additionally, the expensing of costs relating to a proposed merger with Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (a company related through common ownership) contributed to the increase. The merger agreement was terminated in October 2010. These increases were partially offset by the closing of our Memphis facility during the fourth quarter of 2009.

We concluded in the second quarter of 2010 that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Gateway facility for impairment. Based on the results of this analysis, we recorded a $7,964,000 non-cash impairment charge in the second quarter of 2010 to write-down the carrying value of long-lived assets at our Gateway facility to fair value.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $6,190,000 in 2010 as compared to $6,467,000 in 2009.

During 2010, we recognized a gain of $398,000 as a result of insurance proceeds received for damage to grandstands at our Memphis facility.

Net interest expense was $2,460,000 in 2010 as compared to $2,110,000 in 2009. We reversed $878,000 and $1,011,000 in 2010 and 2009, respectively, of previously recorded interest expense on uncertain income tax positions which are no longer subject to examination. Excluding the interest expense we recorded related to uncertain income tax positions, our net interest expense was $3,213,000 in 2010 as compared to $2,795,000 in 2009. The increase was due primarily to a higher average interest rate on our credit facility and the amortization of higher credit facility amendment fees.

On July 21, 2010, we redeemed the $1,751,000 of remaining outstanding bonds with Southwestern Illinois Development Authority (“SWIDA”) for $1,909,000 (including a $158,000 premium to the bondholders). The redemption resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $208,000 (including the premium, professional fees and the write-off of deferred financing costs) during 2010.

Loss before income tax benefit was $11,486,000 in 2010 as compared to $7,909,000 in 2009. Excluding the non-cash impairment charges and facility exit costs, our adjusted loss before income tax benefit was $2,389,000 in 2010 as compared to $431,000 in 2009.


	2010			2009
Loss before income tax benefit	$	(11,486,000	)	$	(7,909,000	)
Non-cash impairment charges		8,773,000			7,478,000
Facility exit costs		324,000			—

Adjusted loss before income taxes	$	(2,389,000	)	$	(431,000	)

The above financial information is presented using other than generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) and is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP. Non-GAAP adjusted loss before income taxes is derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for the aforementioned non-cash impairment charge and facility exit costs. We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful to investors, and is used by investors and us to assess core operations. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to loss before income tax benefit which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

Our effective income tax rates for 2010 and 2009 were 28.8% and 25.5%, respectively. The change in our effective income tax rate from the prior year rate was primarily due to the changes in the mix of taxable income and losses within our various subsidiaries resulting primarily from the impairment charges. Certain subsidiaries had state taxable income which resulted in state income tax expense; however, other subsidiaries with state tax losses have no state income tax benefits based upon the valuation allowances that we have recorded in connection with state net operating loss carryforwards.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2008

Admissions revenue was $24,741,000 in 2009 as compared to $31,034,000 in 2008. We promoted fourteen major events during 2009 as compared to fifteen during 2008. The $6,293,000 decrease was primarily related to lower admissions revenue at our NASCAR event weekends at Dover International Speedway and to a lesser extent lower admissions at all other major events we promoted during 2009. We believe the decrease in attendance was attributable primarily to the general downturn in economic conditions, including those affecting disposable consumer income and corporate budgets such as employment, business conditions, interest rates and taxation rates. We believe that adverse economic trends, particularly credit availability, the decline in consumer confidence and the rise in unemployment have increasingly contributed to the decrease in attendance. Inclement weather during the September NASCAR event weekend at Dover International Speedway also negatively impacted attendance. Additionally, the decrease was partially attributable to a change in our major motorsports event schedule. The Indy Racing League event at our Nashville Superspeedway that we promoted during 2008 was not promoted in 2009.

Event-related revenue was $17,971,000 in 2009 as compared to $25,652,000 in 2008. The $7,681,000 decrease was primarily related to lower sponsorship revenues at most events we promoted during 2009 and lower luxury suite rentals and concession sales at our NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Dover International Speedway we believe as a result of economic conditions. Additionally, the decrease was partially attributable to the change in our major motorsports event schedule.

Broadcasting revenue increased slightly from $27,532,000 in 2008 to $27,999,000 in 2009. The increase resulted entirely from higher broadcasting revenue for our NASCAR-sanctioned events promoted during 2009.

Operating and marketing expenses were $50,466,000 in 2009 as compared to $55,262,000 in 2008. The $4,796,000 decrease primarily related to cost savings initiatives implemented at all major events promoted in 2009 and a reduction in expenses due to lower revenues. Additionally, the decrease was partially attributable to the change in our major motorsports event schedule.

General and administrative expenses decreased slightly between 2009 and 2008 from $12,528,000 to $12,174,000. The decrease resulted primarily from cost saving initiatives.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $6,467,000 in 2009 as compared to $6,909,000 in 2008. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in our depreciable asset base resulting from impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008 and the cessation of depreciation expense at our Memphis facility which was classified as held-for-sale for a portion of 2009, partially offset by depreciation on assets placed in service in 2009 and 2008 related to our Monster Makeover project in Dover, Delaware.

Net interest expense decreased to $2,110,000 in 2009 as compared to $3,995,000 in 2008. The decrease was due primarily to the reversal of $1,011,000 of previously recorded interest expense on certain unrecognized income tax benefits which are no longer subject to examination and to a lesser extent a lower average interest rate and lower average outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. Excluding the interest expense we record on certain unrecognized income tax benefits, our net interest expense was $2,795,000 in 2009 as compared to $3,385,000 in 2008.

Loss on sale of investments was $92,000 in 2009 and related solely to losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities.

Our effective income tax rates for 2009 and 2008 were 25.5% and 21.2%, respectively. The change in our effective income tax rate from the prior year rate was primarily due to the changes in the mix of taxable income and losses within our various subsidiaries. Certain subsidiaries had state taxable income which resulted in state income tax expense; however, other subsidiaries with state tax losses have no state income tax benefits due to the valuation allowances that we have recorded in connection with state net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations are seasonal in nature with a majority of our motorsports events occurring during the second and third quarters. However, our cash flows from operating activities are more evenly spread throughout the year, primarily due to the impact of advance ticket sales and other event-related cash receipts, such as sponsorship and luxury suite rentals. The non-cash impairment charges we recorded in 2010, 2009 and 2008 had no impact on our liquidity for the three years ended December 31, 2010.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $966,000 in 2010 as compared to $5,253,000 in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the larger operating loss and lower receipts from advanced ticket sales.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5,366,000 in 2010 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2,024,000 in 2009. Capital expenditures were $488,000 in 2010 compared with $1,912,000 in 2009. The 2010 additions related primarily to payments for concessions equipment and facility improvements. The 2009 additions related primarily to the Monster Makeover project, consisting primarily of racetrack improvements at our Dover facility. During 2010, we received $398,000 of insurance proceeds to cover damage to grandstands at our Memphis facility. Changes in our restricted cash accounts were $5,333,000 and $114,000 for 2010 and 2009, respectively. On July 21, 2010, we redeemed all of the outstanding SWIDA bonds. Subsequent to redeeming the SWIDA bonds, the remaining restricted cash was returned to us by the trustee.

Net cash used in financing activities was $6,418,000 in 2010 as compared to $3,362,000 in 2009. We had net repayments on our outstanding line of credit of $2,800,000 in 2010 as compared to $1,200,000 in 2009. Repayments of our outstanding SWIDA bonds were $2,986,000 for 2010 as compared to $1,127,000 for 2009. We incurred $167,000 of premium and fees associated with the SWIDA bond redemption during the third quarter of 2010. We paid $733,000 in cash dividends in 2009. No dividends were paid in 2010.

On July 29, 2009, our Board of Directors voted to suspend the declaration of regular quarterly cash dividends on all classes of our common stock. Dividends are prohibited by our credit facility.

At December 31, 2010, Dover Motorsports, Inc. and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, as co-borrowers, were parties to a $68,000,000 secured revolving credit agreement with a bank group. The maximum borrowing limit under the facility reduces to $65,000,000 as of June 1, 2011 and $63,000,000 as of October 1, 2011 and the facility expires January 1, 2012. There was $38,200,000 outstanding under the credit facility at December 31, 2010, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.6%. The credit agreement is secured by all of our assets. It provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements, letter of credit requirements and other general corporate purposes. On October 28, 2010, we amended the credit agreement to revise certain financial covenants effective for the September 30, 2010 period and for the subsequent two quarterly measurement periods under the agreement, and to revise certain definitions. Interest is based, at our option, upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 300 and 400 basis points (400 basis points at December 31, 2010) depending on the ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “leverage ratio”) or upon the base rate (the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) plus a margin that varies between 200 and 300 basis points (300 basis points at December 31, 2010) depending on the leverage ratio. The terms of the credit facility contain certain covenants including minimum tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage and maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause and prohibits the payment of dividends by us. The credit facility also provides that if we default under any other loan agreement, that would be a default under this credit facility. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to maintain financial ratios necessary to satisfy these requirements. After consideration of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, the remaining maximum borrowings available pursuant to the credit facility were $8,448,000 at December 31, 2010; however, in order to maintain compliance with the required quarterly debt covenant calculations as of December 31, 2010 only $3,844,000 could have been borrowed as of that date. We expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.

Our current credit agreement is scheduled to mature on January 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating possible options to address the expiration of the credit facility including refinancing with a new credit facility or other available financing options. We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to address the credit facility expiration.

in connection with terminating the leases. As part of the lease termination agreement with one of the landlords, we provided a six month purchase option on the remaining approximately 120 acres of owned land at $10,000 per acre, which approximates our carrying value.

Cash provided by operating activities is expected to substantially fund our capital expenditures. Based on current business conditions, we expect to spend approximately $500,000 on capital expenditures during 2011. Additionally, we expect to contribute approximately $700,000 to our pension plans for 2011. We expect continued cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our credit agreement to provide for our working capital needs and capital spending requirements at least through the next twelve months and also provide for our long-term liquidity.

^(a)	The future interest payments on our revolving credit agreement were estimated using the current outstanding principal as of December 31, 2010 and related interest rates.

⁽^b⁾	We expect to contribute approximately $700,000 to our pension plans for 2011. For years subsequent to 2011, we are unable to estimate what our pension contributions will be.

In September 1999, the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson (Tennessee) issued $25,900,000 in Variable Rate Tax Exempt Infrastructure Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, to acquire, construct and develop certain public infrastructure improvements which benefit the operation of Nashville Superspeedway, of which $21,000,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2010. Annual principal payments range from $700,000 in September 2011 to $1,600,000 in 2029 and are payable solely from sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility. These bonds are direct obligations of the Sports Authority and are therefore not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. If the sales taxes and incremental property taxes are insufficient for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds, we would become responsible for the difference. We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds. A significant increase in interest rates could result in us being responsible for debt service payments not covered by the sales and incremental property taxes generated from the facility. In the event we were unable to make the payments, they would be made pursuant to a $21,352,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group.

generated from the facility, a portion of the bonds would become our liability. If we fail to maintain the letter of credit that secures the bonds or we allow an uncured event of default to exist under our reimbursement agreement relative to the letter of credit, the bonds would be immediately redeemable.

We have not included our non current income taxes payable of $1,241,000 which is classified in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” in the contractual obligations disclosure since we cannot reasonably estimate whether or when a cash settlement for uncertain tax positions would occur. See NOTE 7 – Income Taxes in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

See NOTE 11 – Related Party Transactions in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies described below are those we consider critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. As described below, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2010, our valuation allowance net of federal income taxes was $10,424,000, which increased by $985,000 in 2010, on deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carry-forwards. These state net operating losses are related to our Midwest facilities that have not produced taxable income. In the event that our Midwest facilities continue to generate losses for state income tax purposes in the future, our valuation allowance will increase to offset those income tax benefits. We have considered ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize all or a portion of these deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would increase earnings in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our remaining deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and up to 40 years for facilities. These estimates require assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the

carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques such as the comparable sales approach. Historically the impairment assessment for track facilities has also considered the cost approach valuation technique, which gives specific consideration to the value of the track land plus the contributory value to the improvements. The primary economic assumptions used in the valuation techniques include: (i) land value which is estimated by comparable transactions; (ii) the contributory value of the track facilities calculated by estimated replacement costs, less economic depreciation; and (iii) that the highest and best use for the facilities is as a race track due to the contributory value of the improvements. Changes to these assumptions can have a significant effect on the outcome of future impairment tests and as a result, future valuations could differ significantly from current estimates. See NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges in the notes to the consolidated financials statements for further discussion.

Accrued Pension Cost

The benefits provided by our defined-benefit pension plans are based on years of service and employee’s remuneration over their employment with us. Accrued pension costs are developed using actuarial principles and assumptions which consider a number of factors, including estimates for the discount rate, assumed rate of compensation increase, and expected long-term rate of return on assets. Changes in these estimates would impact the amounts that we record in our consolidated financial statements.

Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the effects of certain estimates and judgments made by management.

Our management also is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management’s authorization. The system is regularly monitored by direct management review and by internal auditors who conduct an extensive program of audits throughout our organization. The Director of

Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We have confidence in our financial reporting, the underlying system of internal controls, and our people, who are objective in their responsibilities and operate under our Code of Business Conduct and with the highest level of ethical standards. These standards are a key element of our control system.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, has direct and private access to and meets regularly with management, our internal auditors and our independent registered public accounting firm to review accounting, reporting, auditing and internal control matters.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedure may deteriorate.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that relevant, material information is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. KPMG LLP independently assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. KPMG LLP has issued their report which is included herein.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Dover Motorsports, Inc.:

We have audited Dover Motorsports, Inc.’s (the Company’s) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Dover Motorsports, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 15, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Dover Motorsports, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Dover Motorsports, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – Business Operations

References in this document to “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dover Motorsports, Inc. and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, as appropriate.

Dover Motorsports, Inc. is a public holding company that is a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. Through our subsidiaries, we own and operate Dover International Speedway^® in Dover, Delaware and Nashville Superspeedway^® near Nashville, Tennessee. We closed Gateway International Raceway^® near St. Louis, Missouri, after the 2010 race season and will not promote any future events there—see further discussion below. These three facilities promoted 13 major events during 2010 under the auspices of two of the premier sanctioning bodies in motorsports—the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”) and the National Hot Rod Association (“NHRA”).

In 2010, we promoted the following major events:

•

2 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events;

•

6 NASCAR Nationwide Series events;

•

4 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events; and

•

1 NHRA event.

In 2011, we are scheduled to promote 9 major events, all of which will be sanctioned by NASCAR.

We closed our Memphis Motorsports Park facility in October 2009 and executed an agreement to sell it in December 2010. The real estate sale closed on January 31, 2011. After closing costs and including the proceeds from the separate sale of all personal property at the facility, our net proceeds were approximately $2,000,000. Since the carrying amount of the long-lived assets of the Memphis facility exceeded the sales price, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $809,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010. See NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges.

In November 2010, we announced the closing of our Gateway facility. The Gateway facility is located on approximately 290 acres of land in Madison, Illinois and the racetrack is primarily on leased property. We had long-term leases for approximately 150 acres with four landlords. We also own approximately 140 acres near the Gateway facility. In February 2011, three of the four landlords agreed to terminate the land leases in exchange for 18.5 acres of owned real estate and our agreement to abandon all improvements and certain personal property (including the racetrack) on the leased land. As a result, we recorded an expense for facility exit costs of $324,000 at December 31, 2010 primarily to record a liability for the value of the real property we conveyed to the landlords in connection with terminating the leases. The liability is recorded in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. As part of the lease termination agreement with one of the landlords, we provided a six month purchase option on the remaining approximately 120 acres of owned land at $10,000 per acre, which approximates our carrying value.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, continued cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our credit agreement will provide for our working capital needs and capital spending requirements at least through the next twelve months. As disclosed in NOTE 6 – Long-Term Debt our current credit agreement is scheduled to mature on January 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating possible options to address the expiration of the credit facility including refinancing with a new credit facility or other available financing options. We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to address the credit facility expiration.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation and presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash equivalents—We consider as cash equivalents all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Investments—Investments, which consist of mutual funds, are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair-value in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). See NOTE 9 – Stockholders’ Equity and NOTE 10 – Financial Instruments for further discussion.

Accounts receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated collectible amount and do not bear interest.

Inventories—Inventories of items for resale are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities—We are subject to interest rate risk on the variable component of the interest rate under our revolving credit agreement. Effective October 21, 2005, we entered into a $37,500,000 interest rate swap agreement. The agreement terminated on November 1, 2009. We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap were recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item was recognized in earnings. See NOTE 6 – Long-Term Debt and NOTE 10 – Financial Instruments for further discussion.

Property and equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Facilities			10-40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment			3-10 years

Impairment of long-lived assets—Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques such as the sales approach. Historically the impairment assessment for track facilities has also considered the cost approach valuation technique, which gives specific consideration to the value of the land plus contributory value to the improvements. See NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges for further discussion.

Income taxes—Deferred income taxes are provided on all differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements based upon enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets when uncertainty regarding their realizability exists. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

As further discussed in NOTE 7 – Income Taxes, interest expense on uncertain income tax positions is being recorded in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” We record interest related to uncertain income tax

positions in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue recognition—We classify our revenues as admissions, event-related, broadcasting and other. “Admissions” revenue includes ticket sales for all Company events. “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and souvenir sales and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our facilities; sales of programs; track rentals and other event-related revenues. “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for television and radio broadcasts of events held at our speedways and ancillary media rights fees.

Revenues pertaining to specific events are deferred until the event is held. Concession and souvenir revenue are recorded at the time of sale. Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which we receive advertising or other goods or services in exchange for sponsorships of motorsports events are recorded at fair value. Barter transactions accounted for $848,000, $936,000 and $1,163,000 of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Under the terms of our sanction agreements, NASCAR retains 10% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR-sanctioned event as a component of its sanction fee. The remaining 90% is recorded as revenue. The event promoter is required to pay 25% of the gross broadcast rights fees to the event as part of the awards to the competitors, which we record as operating expenses.

We are responsible for collecting sales taxes from our customers on certain revenue generating activities and remitting these taxes to the appropriate governmental taxing authority. We include sales taxes in admissions and event-related revenues in our consolidated statements of operations with an equal amount in operating and marketing expenses. Sales taxes included in revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $164,000, $453,000 and $578,000, respectively.

Expense recognition—Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to various sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR, marketing and other expenses associated with the promotion of our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed.

The cost of non-event related advertising, promotion and marketing programs is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $2,192,000, $2,781,000 and $3,387,000 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Net loss per common share—Basic and diluted net loss per common share (“EPS”) are calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Nonvested share-based payment awards that include rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities, and the two-class method of computing EPS is applied for all periods presented.

Our restricted stock awards include the right to dividends with respect to nonvested shares. The nonvested shares of our restricted stock grants are considered participating securities and must be included in our computation of EPS. Accordingly, we have computed EPS to include the impact of outstanding nonvested shares of restricted stock in the calculation of basic EPS.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	2010			2009			2008
Net loss per common share – basic:
Net loss	$	(8,173	)	$	(5,895	)	$	(5,679	)

Net loss per common share – basic	$	(0.23	)	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.16	)


	2010			2009			2008
Net loss per common share – diluted:
Net loss	$	(8,173	)	$	(5,895	)	$	(5,679	)
Allocation to nonvested restricted stock awards		—			(12	)		(27	)

Weighted-average shares and dilutive shares outstanding		36,095			36,021			35,940

Net loss per common share – diluted	$	(0.23	)	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.16	)

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, options to purchase 293,000, 482,000 and 523,001 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounting for stock-based compensation—We recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $662,000, $495,000 and $598,000 as general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded income tax benefits of $127,000, $130,000 and $243,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to our restricted stock awards.

Use of estimates—The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Segment information—We account for our operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” which establishes guidelines for public companies in determining operating segments based on those used for internal reporting to management. Based on these guidelines, we report information under a single motorsports segment.

NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges

Impairment Charges Recorded in 2010

Since the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value, an impairment charge was recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value. Fair value of the assets for the Gateway facility was determined based on the value of owned real estate at the facility. The long-lived assets deemed to be impaired consisted of track facilities.


	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets		Fair Value of Long-Lived Assets		Non-Cash Impairment Charges
Gateway facility	$	9,464,000	$	1,500,000	$	7,964,000

We closed our Memphis Motorsports Park facility in October 2009 and executed an agreement to sell it in December 2010. The real estate sale closed on January 31, 2011. After closing costs and including the proceeds from the separate sale of all personal property at the facility, our net proceeds were approximately $2,000,000. Since the carrying amount of the long-lived assets of the Memphis facility exceeded the sales price, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $809,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Impairment Charges Recorded in 2009

We had an earlier agreement of sale relative to our Memphis Motorsports Park facility which expired in September 2009, and as a result, we concluded in the third quarter of 2009 that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of our Memphis facility for impairment. The fair value of the assets for the Memphis facility was previously determined based upon the terms of the agreement of sale for purposes of our impairment assessment. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, the recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. As a result of the recoverability test, we concluded that the carrying amount of our Memphis facility exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.


	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets		Fair Value of Long-Lived Assets		Non-Cash Impairment Charges
Memphis facility	$	10,278,000	$	2,800,000	$	7,478,000

Impairment Charges Recorded in 2008

Based upon the current economic conditions that existed in the fourth quarter of 2008 and their impact on our current and projected operations and cash flows, and the potential impact on real estate valuations, combined with the fact that there was no change in the allocation of broadcast revenues to the NASCAR Nationwide Series for 2009, we concluded in the fourth quarter that it was necessary for us to review the carrying value of the long-lived assets of each of our Midwest facilities, consisting of Nashville Superspeedway, Memphis Motorsports Park and Gateway International Raceway, for impairment. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, the recoverability of assets to be held and used was measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. As a result of the recoverability test, we concluded that the carrying amount of each of our Midwest facilities exceeded the undiscounted cash flows.

Since the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value, an impairment charge was recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value. Fair value of the assets for Nashville and Gateway was determined using a valuation methodology that consisted of the cost approach, which gave specific consideration to the value of the land plus contributory value to the improvements, and the comparable sales approach. Based upon the cost approach utilized for the valuations, there was an assumption that these two facilities would continue to operate as racetracks and it was our intention to continue operating them unless it was determined that future prospects no longer justify such action. It is still our intention to operate Nashville as a racetrack; however, as discussed in NOTE 1 – Business Operations we have announced the closing of the Gateway facility and during the second quarter of 2010 the Gateway facility was written down to the fair value of the owned real estate at the facility. Fair value of the assets for Memphis was determined using a valuation methodology that considered the terms of our agreement of sale and the comparable sales approach. The long-lived assets deemed to be impaired consisted of track facilities. These facilities have generated negative cash flows for several years and we expect that these negative cash flows will continue for the Nashville and Gateway facilities as we monitor industry and Nationwide series changes made by NASCAR while continuing our efforts to reduce operating expenses and increase revenues.

Based on the results of this analysis, we recorded non-cash impairment charges in 2008 to write-down the carrying value of long-lived assets at our Midwest facilities to fair value, as follows:


	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets		Fair Value of Long-Lived Assets		Non-Cash Impairment Charges
Nashville	$	54,640,000	$	51,500,000	$	3,140,000
Memphis		12,150,000		10,000,000		2,150,000
Gateway		17,505,000		10,000,000		7,505,000

Total	$	84,295,000	$	71,500,000	$	12,795,000

NOTE 6 – Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following as of December 31:


	2010		2009

Less current portion		—		(1,235,000	)

	$	38,200,000	$	42,739,000

After consideration of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, the remaining maximum borrowings available pursuant to the credit facility were $8,448,000 at December 31, 2010; however, in order to maintain compliance with the required quarterly debt covenant calculations as of December 31, 2010 only $3,844,000 could have been borrowed as of that date. We expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.

In 1996, Midwest Racing, Inc. entered into an agreement (the “SWIDA bonds”) with Southwestern Illinois Development Authority (“SWIDA”) to receive the proceeds from the “Taxable Sports Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 1996 (Gateway International Motorsports Corporation Project),” a Municipal Bond Offering, in the aggregate principal amount of $21,500,000. SWIDA loaned all of the proceeds from the Municipal Bond Offering to Midwest Racing for the purpose of the redevelopment, construction and expansion of Gateway International Raceway (“Gateway”). The proceeds of the SWIDA bonds were irrevocably committed to complete construction of Gateway, to fund interest, to create a debt service reserve fund and to pay for the cost of issuance of the bonds. The repayment terms and debt service reserve requirements of the bonds issued in the Municipal Bond Offering corresponded to the terms of the SWIDA bonds. The bonds were being amortized through February 2012.

We had established certain restricted cash funds to meet debt service as required by the SWIDA bonds, which were held by the trustee (BNY Trust Company of Missouri). The SWIDA bonds were secured by a first mortgage lien on all the real property owned and a security interest in all property leased by Gateway. Also, the SWIDA bonds were unconditionally guaranteed by Midwest Racing. The SWIDA bonds bore interest at a rate of 9.2%. Interest expense related to the SWIDA bonds was $100,000, $286,000 and $382,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

On July 21, 2010, we redeemed the $1,751,000 of remaining outstanding SWIDA bonds for $1,909,000 (including a $158,000 premium to the bondholders). The redemption resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $208,000 (including the premium, professional fees and the write-off of deferred financing costs) in 2010. Subsequent to redeeming the SWIDA bonds, the remaining restricted cash was returned to us by the trustee.

Noncurrent deferred income tax assets		206,000			164,000
Noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities		(18,843,000	)		(20,850,000	)

	$	(18,395,000	)	$	(20,568,000	)

Deferred income taxes relate to the temporary differences between financial accounting income and taxable income and are primarily attributable to differences between the book and tax basis of property and equipment and net operating loss carry-forwards (expiring through 2030). At December 31, 2010, we have available federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $6,263,000 and $251,596,000, respectively. Valuation allowances which fully reserve the state net operating loss carryforwards, net of federal tax benefit, increased in 2010, 2009 and 2008 by $973,000,

$1,082,000 and $992,000, respectively. We believe that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized based upon reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.

Interest expense on uncertain income tax positions is being recorded in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The unrecognized tax benefits relate to the appropriate period to depreciate certain of our assets and do not affect our effective income tax rate or our reported earnings. During the years 2010, 2009 and 2008, our liability relating to uncertain income tax positions decreased by $2,028,000, $6,361,000 and, $57,000 solely related to prior year tax positions and the expiration of the statute of limitations. We estimate that our total liability relating to uncertain income tax positions of $1,241,000 will reverse in 2011.

Interest expense on our uncertain income tax positions was $125,000, $325,000 and $610,000 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the third quarters of 2010 and 2009, we reversed $878,000 and $1,011,000, respectively, of previously recorded interest expense on uncertain income tax positions which are no longer subject to examination. Accrued interest on our uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $122,000 and $875,000, respectively, and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the states in which we conduct business. We have identified the U.S. federal and state of Delaware as our major tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2010, tax years after 2006 remain open to examination for federal and Delaware income tax purposes.

NOTE 8 – Pension Plans

We maintain a non-contributory tax qualified defined benefit pension plan. All of our full time employees are eligible to participate in the qualified plan. Benefits provided by our qualified pension plan are based on years of service and employees’ remuneration over their employment period. Pension costs are funded in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We also maintain a non-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain employees. This excess plan provides benefits that would otherwise be provided under the qualified pension plan but for maximum benefit and compensation limits applicable under federal tax law. The cost associated with the excess plan is determined using the same actuarial methods and assumptions as those used for our qualified pension plan.

The following table sets forth the plans’ funded status and amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:


	2010			2009
Change in benefit obligation:
Benefit obligation at beginning of year	$	7,143,000		$	6,908,000

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss that have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost at December 31 are as follows:


	2010		2009
Net actuarial loss	$	2,563,000	$	2,132,000
Prior service cost		55,000		81,000

	$	2,618,000	$	2,213,000

The accumulated benefit obligation for our pension plans was $7,845,000 and $6,591,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:


	2010			2009			2008
Service cost	$	296,000		$	355,000		$	343,000
Interest cost		454,000			417,000			381,000
Expected return on plan assets		(463,000	)		(372,000	)		(507,000	)
Recognized net actuarial loss		127,000			222,000			20,000
Net amortization		22,000			23,000			23,000

	$	436,000		$	645,000		$	260,000

For the year ending December 31, 2011, we expect to recognize the following amounts as components of net periodic benefit cost which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2010:


Actuarial loss	$	152,000
Prior service cost		21,000

	$	173,000

The principal assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the actuarial value of the benefit obligation at December 31, 2010 and 2009 (the measurement dates) for our pension plans are as follows:


	Net Periodic Pension Cost									Benefit Obligation
	2010			2009			2008			2010			2009
Weighted-average discount rate		6.40	%		6.15	%		6.50	%		6.10	%		6.40	%
Weighted-average rate of compensation increase		4.00	%		4.00	%		4.00	%		4.00	%		4.00	%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets		8.50	%		8.50	%		8.50	%		n/a			n/a

For 2010, we assumed a long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.50%. In developing the 8.50% expected long-term rate of return assumption, we considered our historical compounded return and reviewed asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions.

Our investment goals are to achieve a combination of moderate growth of capital and income with moderate risk. Acceptable investment vehicles will include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships, and individual securities. Our target allocations for plan assets are 60% equities and 40% fixed income. Of the equity portion, 50% will be invested in passively managed securities using ETFs and the other 50% will be invested in actively managed investment vehicles. We address diversification by investing in mutual funds and ETFs which hold large, mid and small capitalization U.S. stocks, international (non-U.S.) equity, REITS, and real assets (consisting of inflation-linked bonds, real estate and natural resources). A sufficient percentage of investments will be readily marketable in order to be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable.

The fair values of our pension assets as of December 31, 2010 by asset category are as follows (refer to NOTE 10 – Financial Instruments for a description of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 categories):

Holders of common stock have one vote per share and holders of Class A common stock have ten votes per share. There is no cumulative voting. Shares of Class A common stock are convertible at any time into shares of common stock on a share for share basis at the option of the holder thereof. Dividends on Class A common stock cannot exceed dividends on common stock on a per share basis. Dividends on common stock may be paid at a higher rate than dividends on Class A common stock. The terms and conditions of each issue of preferred stock are determined by our Board of Directors. No preferred shares have been issued.

We have adopted a rights plan with respect to our common stock and Class A common stock which includes the distribution of rights to holders of such stock. The rights entitle the holder, upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase additional stock. The rights are exercisable if a person, company or group acquires 10% or more of the outstanding combined equity of common stock and Class A common stock or engages in a tender offer. We are entitled to redeem each right for $.005.

On July 29, 2009, our Board of Directors voted to suspend the declaration of regular quarterly cash dividends on all classes of our common stock. Dividends are prohibited by our credit facility.

On July 28, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as conditions warrant. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. No purchases of our equity securities were made pursuant to this authorization during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008. At December 31, 2010, we had remaining repurchase authority of 1,634,607 shares. At present we are not permitted to make such purchases under our credit facility.

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we purchased and retired 23,814, 12,785 and 20,877 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $2.10, $1.51 and $6.56 per share, respectively. These purchases were made from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and were not pursuant to the aforementioned repurchase authorization. Since the vesting of a restricted stock award is a taxable event to our employees for which income tax withholding is required, the plan allows employees to surrender to us some of the shares that would otherwise have vested in satisfaction of their tax liability. The surrender of these shares is treated by us as a purchase of the shares.

We have a 1996 stock option plan (the “1996 Plan”) which provided for the grant of stock options to our officers and key employees. Under the 1996 Plan, option grants had to have an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock at the date of the grant. Stock options for 205,000 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 1996 Plan as of December 31, 2010 and as of January 2, 2011 all of the options expired.

In April 2004, we established the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) which provides for the grant of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to our officers and key employees through stock options and/or awards, such as nonvested stock awards, valued in whole or in part by reference to our common stock. The nonvested stock vests an aggregate of twenty percent each year beginning on the second anniversary date of the grant. The aggregate market value of the nonvested stock at the date of issuance is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the six-year service period. No stock options have been granted under the 2004 Plan. As of December 31, 2010, there were 666,070 shares available for granting options or stock awards under the 2004 Plan.

Stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2010 was as follows:


	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in yrs)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2009		482,000		$	5.82

The total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1,000, $138,000 and $170,000, respectively. We recorded, within general and administrative expenses, compensation expense of $101,000 related to stock options for the year ended December 31, 2008. There was no compensation expense related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Nonvested restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2010 was as follows:


	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2009		551,000		$	4.04

The aggregate market value of the nonvested restricted stock at the date of issuance is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the six-year service period or the service period remaining until normal retirement age, if shorter. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $556,000, $427,000 and $310,000, respectively. The grant-date fair value of nonvested stock awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $2.09, $1.48 and $6.60, respectively. We recorded compensation expense of $662,000, $495,000 and $497,000 related to nonvested stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, there was $1,061,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted to employees under our stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years.

NOTE 10 – Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instrument pricing levels as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
2010:
Available-for-sale securities	$	527,000	$	527,000	$	—	$	—
2009:
Available-for-sale securities	$	479,000	$	479,000	$	—	$	—

Our investments in available-for-sale securities consist of mutual funds. These investments are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we sold investments with a cost basis of $427,000 and recognized a loss on sale of $92,000. No investments were sold during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2008.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was $38,200,000 and $41,000,000, respectively, outstanding under our revolving credit agreement. The borrowings under our revolving credit agreement bear interest at the variable rate described in NOTE 6 – Long-Term Debt and therefore we believe approximate fair value.

At December 31, 2009, our outstanding SWIDA bonds had a carrying value of $2,974,000 and an estimated fair value of $3,182,000. The fair values were determined through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology utilizing estimated interest rates that would be available to us for borrowings with similar terms.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instrument pricing levels for non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2010:


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		2010 Losses
Current assets held for sale	$	1,875,000	$	1,875,000	$	—	$	—	$	809,000
Long-lived assets held and used	$	1,500,000	$	—	$	—	$	1,500,000	$	7,964,000

During the fourth quarter of 2010, current assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $2,800,000 were written down to $1,875,000 fair value. This was the result of an impairment charge more fully described in NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges. Fair value of these long-lived assets was determined based on the sale price agreed to by the buyer and seller.

During the second quarter of 2010, long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $9,464,000 were written down to $1,500,000 fair value. This was the result of an impairment charge more fully described in NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges. Fair value of these long-lived assets was determined using a valuation methodology which gave specific consideration to the value of the owned real estate.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instrument pricing levels for non-financial assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2009:


	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		2009 Losses
Long-lived assets held and used	$	2,800,000	$	—	$	—	$	2,800,000	$	7,478,000

During the third quarter of 2009, long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $10,278,000 were written down to $2,800,000 fair value. This was the result of an impairment charge more fully described in NOTE 3 – Impairment Charges. Fair value of these long-lived assets was determined using a valuation methodology which gave specific consideration to the value of the land and an office building, net of demolition costs.

NOTE 11 – Related Party Transactions

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (“Gaming”), a company related through common ownership, allocated costs of $1,977,000, $1,983,000 and $2,104,000, respectively, to us for certain administrative and operating services, including leased space. We allocated certain administrative and operating service costs of $222,000, $225,000 and $295,000, respectively, to Gaming for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. The allocations were based on an analysis of each company’s share of the costs. In connection with our NASCAR event weekends at Dover International Speedway, Gaming provided certain services, primarily catering, for which we were invoiced $928,000, $999,000 and $1,237,000, during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, we invoiced Gaming $353,000, $375,000 and $434,000, during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for a skybox suite, tickets and other services to the events. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, our consolidated balance sheets included a $18,000 and $5,000 payable to Gaming, respectively, for the aforementioned items. We settled these items in January of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net costs incurred by each company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the companies had been unrelated entities and/or had otherwise independently managed these functions; however, management believes that these costs are reasonable.

Prior to the spin-off of Gaming from our company in 2002, both companies shared certain real property in Dover, Delaware. At the time of the spin-off, some of this real property was transferred to Gaming to ensure that the real property holdings of each company was aligned with its past uses and future business needs. During its harness racing season, Gaming has historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on our property and is on the inside of our one-mile motorsports superspeedway. In order to continue this historic use, we granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to Gaming at the time of the spin-off. This perpetual easement allows Gaming to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period. The easement requires that Gaming maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent.

In April of 2002, we spun-off our gaming business which was then owned by our subsidiary, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. On a tax-free basis, we made a pro rata distribution of all of the capital stock of Gaming to our stockholders. Our continuing operations subsequent to the spin-off consist solely of our motorsports activities.

In conjunction with the spin-off of Gaming by us, the two companies entered into various agreements that addressed the allocation of assets and liabilities between the two companies and that define the companies’ relationship after the separation. Among these are the Real Property Agreement and the Transition Support Services Agreement.

The Real Property Agreement governs certain real property transfers, leases and easements affecting our Dover, Delaware facility.

The Transition Support Services Agreement provides for each of the two companies to provide each other with certain administrative and operational services. The party receiving the services is required to pay for them within 30 business days after receipt of an invoice at rates agreed upon by the companies. The agreement may be terminated in whole or in part 90 days after the request of the party receiving the services or 180 days after the request of the party providing the services.

Henry B. Tippie, Chairman of our Board of Directors, controls in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. Mr. Tippie’s voting control emanates from his direct and indirect holdings of common stock and Class A common stock and from his status as trustee of the RMT Trust, our largest stockholder. This means that Mr. Tippie has the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power.

Patrick J. Bagley, Kenneth K. Chalmers, Denis McGlynn, Jeffrey W. Rollins, John W. Rollins, Jr., R. Randall Rollins and Henry B. Tippie are all Directors of Dover Motorsports, Inc. and Gaming. Denis McGlynn is the President and Chief Executive Officer of both companies, Klaus M. Belohoubek is the Senior Vice President — General Counsel and Secretary of both companies and Timothy R. Horne is the Senior Vice President — Finance and Chief Financial Officer of both companies. Mr. Tippie controls in excess of fifty percent of the voting power of Gaming.

NOTE 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

We lease equipment at our facilities with leases expiring at various dates through 2016. Total rental payments charged to operations amounted to $309,000, $364,000 and $365,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The minimum lease payments due under these leases are as follows:


2011	$	51,000
2012	$	22,000
2013	$	15,000
2014	$	14,000
2015	$	11,000
Thereafter	$	1,000

In September 1999, the Sports Authority of the County of Wilson (Tennessee) issued $25,900,000 in Variable Rate Tax Exempt Infrastructure Revenue Bonds, Series 1999, to acquire, construct and develop certain public infrastructure improvements which benefit the operation of Nashville Superspeedway, of which $21,000,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2010. Annual principal payments range from $700,000 in September 2011 to $1,600,000 in 2029 and are payable solely from sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility. These bonds are direct obligations of the Sports Authority and are therefore not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. If the sales taxes and incremental property taxes are insufficient for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds, we would become responsible for the difference. In the event we were unable to make the payments, they would be made pursuant to a $21,352,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group. We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds. A significant increase in interest

rates could result in us being responsible for debt service payments not covered by the sales and incremental property taxes generated from the facility.

We believe that the sales taxes and incremental property taxes generated from the facility will continue to satisfy the necessary debt service requirements of the bonds through the maturity date in 2029. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, $1,200,000 and $915,000, respectively, was available in the sales and incremental property tax fund maintained by the Sports Authority to pay the remaining principal and interest due under the bonds. During 2010, we paid $1,038,000 into the sales and incremental property tax fund and $753,000 was deducted from the fund for principal and interest payments. If the debt service is not satisfied from the sales and incremental property taxes generated from the facility, a portion of the bonds would become our liability. If we fail to maintain the letter of credit that secures the bonds or we allow an uncured event of default to exist under our reimbursement agreement relative to the letter of credit, the bonds would be immediately redeemable.

We have employment, severance and noncompete agreements with certain of our officers and directors under which certain change of control, severance and noncompete payments and benefits might become payable in the event of a change in our control, defined to include a tender offer or the closing of a merger or similar corporate transactions. In the event of such a change in control and the subsequent termination of employment of all employees covered under these agreements, we estimate that the maximum contingent liability would range from $7,400,000 to $8,700,000 depending on the tax treatment of the payments.

To the extent that any of the potential payments or benefits due under the agreements constitute an excess “parachute payment” under the Internal Revenue Code and result in the imposition of an excise tax, each agreement requires that we pay the amount of such excise tax plus any additional amounts necessary to place the officer or director in the same after-tax position as he would have been had no excise tax been imposed. We estimate that the tax gross ups that could be paid under the agreements in the event the agreements were triggered due to a change of control could be between $1,100,000 and $2,400,000 and these amounts have been included in the maximum contingent liability disclosed above. This maximum tax gross up figure assumes that none of the payments made after the hypothetical change in control would be characterized as reasonable compensation for services rendered. Each agreement with an executive officer provides that fifty percent of the monthly amount paid during the term is paid in consideration of the executive officer’s non-compete covenants. The exclusion of these amounts would reduce the calculated amount of excess parachute payments subject to tax. We are unable to conclude whether the Internal Revenue Service would characterize all or some of these non-compete payments as reasonable compensation for services rendered.

We are also a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we announced the closing of our Gateway facility. We have long-term leases for land at the facility and upon closing the facility we recognized expense of $589,000 ($383,000 after income taxes) to record a liability for the estimated fair value of Gateway’s future net lease obligations.

In November 2010, we announced the closing of our Gateway facility. In February 2011, we terminated a majority of our leases in exchange for 18.5 acres of owned real estate and certain personal property. As a result, we recorded an expense for facility exit costs of $324,000 at December 31, 2010 primarily to record a liability for the value of the real property we conveyed to the landlords in connection with terminating the leases.

We promoted an NHRA event at our Memphis facility during the fourth quarter of 2009. This event was not promoted in 2010.

Per share data amounts for the quarters have each been calculated separately. Accordingly, quarterly amounts may not add to the annual amounts due to differences in the average common shares outstanding during each period.
