Item 1.

           (a)    Dover Motorsports, Inc.

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


Item 2.

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

           (c)    United States

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