DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Dover International Speedway is hoping to make race fans' experience a little more comfortable by widening seats in the outdoor grandstands.

A track spokesperson says the process of increasing seats from 18 inches to 22 inches will start next year and will be complete by 2014.

The president and CEO of Dover Motorsports says the widening comes in response to fans' suggestions. The change will reduce the capacity of the speedway from 140,000 to 113,000.
