Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation References in this document to “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dover Motorsports, Inc. and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, as appropriate. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 5, 2020. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 due to the seasonal nature of our business. |

Business Operations | NOTE 2 – Business Operations Dover Motorsports, Inc. is a public holding company that is a 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. Our Dover facility was scheduled to promote the following six events during 2020, all of which would be under the auspices of the premier sanctioning body in motorsports - the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”): · 2 NASCAR Cup Series events (May and August); · 2 NASCAR Xfinity Series events (May and August); · 1 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series event (May); and · 1 NASCAR ARCA Menards Series East event (August). Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our May NASCAR weekend has been postponed and we do not yet have a date for the rescheduling of any of the events that were postponed. It is possible that our May NASCAR Cup Series event will be moved to August and that we will hold a double header with back to back NASCAR Cup Series events held on Saturday and Sunday. It is also possible that none of these events are held or that they are held without fans present in the stands. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many people are likely to be affected by it. For that reason, we are unable to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on our business at this time. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, but the outbreak and associated economic impacts could have a material adverse effect on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We have hosted the Firefly Music Festival (“Firefly”) on our property in Dover, Delaware for eight consecutive years and it was scheduled to return on June 18-21, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's event was canceled.The inaugural three day festival with 40 musical acts was held in July 2012 and the 2019 event was held on June 21-23, 2019 with approximately 120 musical acts. In September 2014, Red Frog Events LLC formed RFGV Festivals LLC - a joint venture with Goldenvoice that promotes Firefly. Goldenvoice is a company of AEG Presents, LLC, a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. AEG Presents, one of the world’s largest presenters of live music and entertainment events, announced on July 18, 2018 that it had acquired the remainder of RFGV Festivals LLC from Red Frog. Our amended agreement with RFGV Festivals grants them two 5 year options to extend our facility rental agreement through 2032 in exchange for a rental commitment to secure our property. In addition to the facility rental fee, we also receive a percentage of the concession sales we manage at the events. Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011. We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time. On August 17, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an entity owned by Panattoni Development Company (“buyer”) relative to the sale of approximately 147 acres of land at a purchase price of $35,000 per acre. On March 2, 2018, we closed on the sale of the property with proceeds, less closing costs, of $4,945,000. Net proceeds after taxes were approximately $4,150,000 resulting in a gain of $2,512,000. On September 1, 2017, we also awarded to the buyer a three year option for 88.03 additional acres at a purchase price of $55,000 per acre. That option agreement has been amended twice since: first, on February 9, 2018, to extend its term and to add additional acreage; and second, on June 25, 2019, in connection with the purchaser's exercise of its option on two parcels, we adjusted the acreage and further extended the term of the option on a third parcel. On July 26, 2019, the purchaser closed on the first two parcels, comprising approximately 133 acres, which yielded to us proceeds, less closing costs, of $6,397,000. Net proceeds after taxes were approximately $5,314,000 resulting in a gain of $4,186,000. One parcel of 97.17 acres remains under the option agreement with a purchase price of $66,685 per acre. The purchaser paid to us $500,000 for the extension of this option until March 1, 2022, and this non-refundable payment would be credited to the purchase price at the closing of that option parcel. Assuming this option is exercised, the remaining Nashville Superspeedway property will consist of approximately 1,000 acres. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $21,274,000 and $21,282,000 was reported as long term assets in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively. On February 28, 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell 7.63 acres of land at our Nashville facility for proceeds, less closing costs, of $267,000. The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 and resulted in a gain of $139,000, which we have reported as gain on sale of land in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During September 2018, we entered into negotiations to sell a parcel of land we owned near St. Louis. The sale closed in the first quarter of 2019 with proceeds, less closing costs, of $531,000. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Property and equipment— Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. Accumulated depreciation was $68,030,000 and $67,272,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Revenue recognition— We classify our revenues as admissions, event-related, broadcasting and other. “Admissions” revenue includes ticket sales for our events. “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our events; sales of programs; track rentals; broadcasting rights other than domestic television broadcasting revenue, and other event-related revenues. Additionally, event related revenue includes amounts received for the use of our property and a portion of the concession sales we manage from the Firefly Music Festival. “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for domestic television broadcasts of events held at our speedway. All of our revenues are based on contracts with customers and, with the exception of certain track rentals, relate to two NASCAR event weekends and the Firefly Music Festival held at our Dover facility. Our contracts are typically for specific events or a racing season. We have several The following table summarizes the liability activity related to contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ 976 $ 1,140 Reductions from beginning balance — — Additional liabilities recorded during the period 1,974 3,356 Reduction of additional liabilities recorded during the period, not from beginning balance (41) — Balance, end of period $ 2,909 $ 4,496 We have contracted future revenues representing unsatisfied performance obligations. These contracts contain initial terms typically ranging from one to three years, with some for longer periods, excluding renewal options. We have excluded unsatisfied performance obligations for future NASCAR broadcasting revenue with contract terms through 2024. We anticipate recognizing unsatisfied performance obligations for the calendar year ending 2021 and beyond of approximately $2,825,000 at March 31, 2020. Under the terms of our sanction agreements with NASCAR, we receive a portion of the broadcast revenue NASCAR negotiates with various television networks. NASCAR typically remits payment to us for the broadcast revenue within 30 days of the event being held. 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. Expense recognition— The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $52,000 and $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to NASCAR, and other expenses associated with our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed. Net loss per common 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 basic and diluted net loss per common share (“EPS”) is applied for all periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Net loss per common share – basic and diluted: Net loss $ (3,140) $ (2,490) Allocation to nonvested restricted stock awards — — Net loss available to common stockholders $ (3,140) $ (2,490) Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic and diluted 35,834 36,032 Net loss per common share – basic and diluted $ (0.09) $ (0.07) There were no options outstanding and we paid no dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019. Accounting for stock-based compensation— We recorded total stock-based compensation expense for our restricted stock awards of $92,000 and $108,000 as general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recorded income tax benefits of $8,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to vesting of our restricted stock awards. Recent accounting pronouncements— In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General. This new standard makes changes to the disclosure requirements for sponsors of defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans to improve effectiveness of notes to the financial statements. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and requires retrospective adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures . In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. This new standard makes changes to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements to improve effectiveness of notes to the financial statements. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and generally requires retrospective adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. |

Long-Term Debt | |
Long-Term Debt | NOTE 4 – Long-Term Debt At March 31, 2020, Dover Motorsports, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Dover International Speedway, Inc. and Nashville Speedway, USA, Inc., as co-borrowers had a $30,000,000 credit agreement with a bank group. The credit facility expires on January 1, 2022. Interest is based upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 125 and 175 basis points depending on the leverage ratio. At March 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. The credit facility contains certain covenants including maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“leverage ratio”) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to maintain financial ratios necessary to satisfy these requirements. In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause. The credit facility also provides that if we default under any other loan agreement, that would be a default under this facility. At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit facility. The credit facility provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements, letter of credit requirements and other general corporate purposes. After consideration of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, the remaining maximum borrowings available pursuant to the credit facility were $16,375,000 at March 31, 2020. Assuming the 2020 NASCAR race schedule is not canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months. |

Pension Plans | NOTE 5 – Pension Plans We maintain a non-contributory tax qualified defined benefit pension plan that has been frozen since July 2011. All of our full time employees were eligible to participate in the qualified plan. Benefits provided by our qualified pension plan were based on years of service and employees' remuneration over their employment period. Compensation earned by employees up to July 31, 2011 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under our pension plan with no future benefit accruals after this date. We also maintain a non-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan, the excess plan, for certain employees that has been frozen since July 2011. This excess plan provided 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 similar actuarial methods and assumptions as those used for our qualified pension plan. The assets for the excess plan aggregate $1,010,000 and $1,182,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets (see NOTE 7 – Fair Value Measurements). The components of net periodic pension benefit for our defined benefit pension plans are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Interest cost $ 108,000 $ 129,000 Expected return on plan assets (185,000) (181,000) Recognized net actuarial loss 41,000 35,000 $ (36,000) $ (17,000) The net periodic pension benefit is included in other income, net in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We have no minimum required pension contributions for 2020. We also maintain a non-elective, non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) which provides deferred compensation to certain highly compensated employees that approximates the value of benefits lost by the freezing of the pension plan which are not offset by our enhanced matching contributions in our 401(k) plan. The SERP is a discretionary defined contribution plan and contributions made to the SERP in any given year are not guaranteed and will be at the sole discretion of our Compensation and Stock Incentive Committee. In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded expenses of $30,000 and $27,000, respectively, related to the SERP. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we contributed $120,000 and $108,000 to the plan, respectively. The liability for SERP pension benefits was $30,000 and $120,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan that permits participation by substantially all employees. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan were $36,000 and $32,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

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. We made no purchases during the first three months of 2020. During the first three months of 2019, we purchased 50,220 and retired 48,920 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $2.02 per share, not including nominal brokerage commissions. At March 31, 2020, we had remaining repurchase authority of 384,809 shares. We have a stock incentive plan, adopted in 2014, which provides for the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and key employees through stock options and/or awards valued in whole or in part by reference to our common stock, such as nonvested restricted stock awards. Under the plan, nonvested restricted 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 restricted stock at the date of issuance is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the six-year period. We granted 158,000 and 143,000 stock awards under this plan during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. As of March 31, 2020, there were 1,135,000 shares available for granting options or stock awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we purchased and retired 50,572 and 48,457 shares of our outstanding common stock at an average purchase price of $1.86 and $1.99 per share, respectively. These purchases were made from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under our 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 transferred to the employee in satisfaction of their tax liability. The surrender of these shares is treated by us as a purchase of the shares. |

Related Party Transactions | NOTE 8 – Related Party Transactions During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. (“Gaming”), a company previously related through common ownership, allocated costs of $430,000 to us for certain administrative and operating services, including leased space. We allocated certain administrative and operating service costs of $110,000 to Gaming for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The allocations were based on an analysis of each company’s share of the costs. In connection with our 2019 spring NASCAR event weekend at Dover International Speedway, we invoiced Gaming $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for tickets to the NASCAR event. Effective March 28, 2019, Gaming became part of Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. as a result of a merger and therefore was no longer related through common ownership. 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. 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. 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 a 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. |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 9 – Commitments and Contingencies 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 Nashville Superspeedway, of which $13,400,000 was outstanding at March 31, 2020. Annual principal payments range from $1,100,000 in September 2020 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 therefore have historically not been required to be recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. If the sales taxes and incremental property taxes (“applicable 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 $13,625,000 irrevocable direct-pay letter of credit issued by our bank group. We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates for these bonds. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $558,000 and $637,000, 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 2019, we paid $983,000 into the sales and incremental property tax fund and $1,398,000 was deducted from the fund for debt service. 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. Nashville Superspeedway no longer promotes motorsports events and has not entered into sanction agreements with NASCAR since 2011. We lease the facility on a short term basis to third parties from time to time. In 2011, we recorded a $2,250,000 provision for contingent obligation reflecting the present value of the estimated portion of the revenue bonds debt service that may not be covered by the projected sales and incremental property taxes from the facility. Due to changing interest rates, a provision to increase the contingent obligation was recorded in the amount of $369,000 and $111,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the contingent obligation is $3,757,000 at March 31, 2020. An increase in the bonds’ interest rates would result in an increase in the portion of debt service not covered by applicable taxes and therefore an increase in our liability. 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. |

Accumulated depreciation was $68,030,000 and $67,272,000 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition— We classify our revenues as admissions, event-related, broadcasting and other. “Admissions” revenue includes ticket sales for our events. “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our events; sales of programs; track rentals; broadcasting rights other than domestic television broadcasting revenue, and other event-related revenues. Additionally, event related revenue includes amounts received for the use of our property and a portion of the concession sales we manage from the Firefly Music Festival. “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for domestic television broadcasts of events held at our speedway. All of our revenues are based on contracts with customers and, with the exception of certain track rentals, relate to two NASCAR event weekends and the Firefly Music Festival held at our Dover facility. Our contracts are typically for specific events or a racing season. We have several The following table summarizes the liability activity related to contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ 976 $ 1,140 Reductions from beginning balance — — Additional liabilities recorded during the period 1,974 3,356 Reduction of additional liabilities recorded during the period, not from beginning balance (41) — Balance, end of period $ 2,909 $ 4,496 We have contracted future revenues representing unsatisfied performance obligations. These contracts contain initial terms typically ranging from one to three years, with some for longer periods, excluding renewal options. We have excluded unsatisfied performance obligations for future NASCAR broadcasting revenue with contract terms through 2024. We anticipate recognizing unsatisfied performance obligations for the calendar year ending 2021 and beyond of approximately $2,825,000 at March 31, 2020. Under the terms of our sanction agreements with NASCAR, we receive a portion of the broadcast revenue NASCAR negotiates with various television networks. NASCAR typically remits payment to us for the broadcast revenue within 30 days of the event being held. 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. |
Expense recognition | Expense recognition— The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $52,000 and $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to NASCAR, and other expenses associated with our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed. |
Net loss per common share | Net loss per common 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 basic and diluted net loss per common share (“EPS”) is applied for all periods presented.

We recorded income tax benefits of $8,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to vesting of our restricted stock awards. |
