2008-05-30 09:05:00 DOVER, Del. — Dover International Speedway’s largest outside shareholder wants the racetrack’s assets to be sold, with the Monster Mile possibly becoming part of Bruton Smith’s empire at Speedway Motorsports Inc. Mario Cibelli, founder and managing partner of Marathon Partners, a New York-based investment group, sent a letter to the board of directors of Dover Motorsports Inc. on Thursday urging the company to divest itself of its racing properties.
