Item 1.

            (a)       Dover Motorsports, Inc.

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



Item 2.

            (a)       Denis McGlynn

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

            (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.
