Item 1.	Security and Issuer
The class of equity security to which this Schedule 13D 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 its 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.
The principal executive office of the Company is located at 1131 N. DuPont Highway, Dover, Delaware 19901.
Item 2.	Identity and Background
(a)	Henry B. Tippie (“Mr. Tippie”).
(b)	Mr. Tippie’s business address is 3420 Executive Center Drive, N.W., Suite 163, Austin, TX  78731.
(c )	Mr. Tippie is Chairman of the Board and of the Executive Committee of the Company, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Tippie Services, Inc., 3420 Executive Center Drive, N.W., Suite 163, Austin, TX  78731, and a Director of various other public and private companies.
(d)	During the last five years, Mr. Tippie has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e)	During the last five years, Mr. Tippie has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction in which, as a result of such proceeding, he was or is subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f)	Mr. Tippie is a citizen of the United States of America.
Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
	Not applicable.
Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
Mr. Tippie is the executor of the Estate of John W. Rollins, Sr. (the “Estate”).  The Estate and Mr. Tippie previously filed a joint Schedule 13D and various amendments thereto (the “Estate filings”).  The Estate has transferred all of its equity securities held in the Company to the RMT Trust, a trust formed under the Last Will and Testament of John W. Rollins, Sr. (the “Trust”).  Accordingly, the Estate has no further reporting obligations under Rule 13d.  Mr. Tippie is one of three trustees of the Trust and has sole voting and sole dispositive power over any equity securities of the Company held by the Trust (the “Trust Stock”) pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy entered into January 31, 2008 (the “Agreement”) among the three trustees of the Trust.  A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D.  The Agreement has an initial one (1) year term and renews annually for successive one (1) year terms unless terminated earlier as provided therein.  The Agreement automatically terminates in the event that Mr. Tippie ceases to be Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or ceases to control more than 50% of the voting power in the Company.  Under the Agreement, Mr. Tippie agrees to vote Trust Stock in the same manner in which he votes shares of stock that he owns in his individual capacity and also affords certain take along rights to the Trust whereby Mr. Tippie will not sell shares of stock that he owns in his individual capacity unless, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, the Trust is afforded a reasonable opportunity to sell Trust Stock on comparable terms.
This filing relates to Common Stock and Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Tippie and also to shares of such stock held by the Trust.
As previously disclosed in the Estate filings, Mr. Tippie also had the right to vote certain shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a Stockholders Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy entered into with R. Randall Rollins dated August 5, 2005, as amended and restated December 2, 2005.  Effective January 31, 2008, Mr. Tippie ceded voting control of these shares back to Mr. Rollins and, therefore, pursuant to the express terms of the agreement, the agreement automatically terminated.

(b)	Please refer to Items 7 through 10 on the cover page hereof and Item 5(a) above.

EXHIBIT A TO SCHEDULE 13D

 

STOCKHOLDERS VOTING AGREEMENT

AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

 

This Stockholders Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy (the “Agreement”) by and between R. Randall Rollins (“RRRollins”) and Michele M. Rollins (“MMRollins”) (RRRollins and MMRollins being collectively referred to herein as “Rollins”) and Henry B. Tippie (“Tippie”) (Rollins and Tippie being collectively referred to as the “Stockholders”).

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholders own shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value and/or Class A Common Stock, $.10 par value (such Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and shares of Common Stock which may be acquired upon the conversion of Class A Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Stock”), of Dover Motorsports, Inc. (the “Company”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholders are trustees of the RMT Trust, a residual marital trust created under the last will and testament of John W. Rollins (the “Trust”); and

 

WHEREAS, shares of the Stock have been deposited into the Trust or will be deposited into the Trust at some future point (the “Trust Stock”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholders desire to enter into an agreement to be specifically enforceable among them pursuant to which they agree to grant voting and investment power over the Trust Stock to Tippie; and

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholders believe that entering into this Agreement is both in the best interests of the Company and in the best interests of the Trust; and

 

WHEREAS, Rollins desire to ensure that Tippie remains Chairman of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, Tippie presently has control of in excess of 50% of the voting power in the Company and the Stockholders desire to see that control continue; and

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholders believe that the concentration of control in the Company that flows from this Agreement promotes stability in the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, while the Stockholders are not aware of any present efforts to acquire the Company either through negotiated or hostile means, they believe that the concentration of control in the Company that flows from this Agreement would not inhibit legitimate takeover attempts of the Company and could, in fact, lead to more favorable terms under certain circumstances involving the negotiated acquisition of the Company;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Stockholders hereby agree as follows:

 

6

 

CUSIP No.   260174 10 7

 

1.         Consultations.   The Stockholders may chose to consult with each other relative to matters involving the voting or disposition of the Stock. In no event shall any matter discussed during such consultations rise to the level of an enforceable agreement (unless separately reduced to writing) or give a Stockholder the right to make a claim for damages or specific performance based on reliance. The Stockholders agree to maintain the confidentiality of their discussions, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law or legal process.

 

2.         Agreement to Vote.   Tippie agrees to vote the Trust Stock in the same manner in which he votes shares of Stock owned by him in his individual capacity.

 

3.         Take Along Rights.   Tippie agrees not to sell Stock which he owns in his individual capacity unless the Trust is afforded a reasonable opportunity to sell Trust Stock on comparable terms. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to (i) any sale of Stock made by Tippie in a normal brokerage transaction effected on a national securities exchange, (ii) any sale of Stock made by Tippie in an amount not in excess of 15% of his holdings measured at the beginning of any calendar year, or (iii) any gift of Stock by Tippie.

 

4.         Voting and Investment Control.   Rollins hereby grant to Tippie full voting and investment power over the Trust Stock, subject only to such limitations as are set forth herein and in the documents which govern the Trust, as such documents may be amended from time to time, it being the intent of the parties that Tippie, acting alone, shall have the same authority relative to matters involving the voting or disposition of Trust Stock as the Stockholders would have had acting together in the absence of this Agreement.  Tippie agrees to provide no less than thirty (30) days written notice to Rollins prior to any sale or other disposition of five percent (5%) or more of the Trust Stock, provided that Rollins may waive this requirement.

 

5.         Term.   The term of this Agreement shall be for an initial one (1) year period beginning on the date hereof and shall renew annually for successive one (1) year terms unless terminated earlier as provided herein.  Either RRRollins or MMRollins may terminate this Agreement, effective on any annual anniversary date hereof, on written notice provided to Tippie no less than ninety (90) days prior to such annual anniversary date.  RRRollins and MMRollins, acting jointly, may also terminate this Agreement on written notice provided to Tippie no less than twenty-five (25) days prior to the date of termination.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that Tippie ceases to be Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or ceases to control more than 50% of the voting power in the Company (measured by voting control in the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Class A Common Stock on a combined basis and including the Trust Stock), in the event of the death or incapacity of Tippie or on the tenth anniversary hereof.  Tippie shall be free to terminate this Agreement by providing no less than twenty-five (25) days prior written notice of such intention to Rollins, in which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date set forth in such notice.

 

6.         Irrevocable Proxy.   In order to insure the voting of the Trust Stock in accordance with this Agreement, Rollins agrees to execute an irrevocable proxy simultaneously with the execution hereof, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, granting to Tippie the right to vote or dispose of the Trust Stock in accordance with this Agreement.  In addition, all Trust Stock will be issued as follows:  “RMT Trust, Henry B. Tippie, Trustee.”

CUSIP No.   260174 10 7

 

7.         Changes in Common Stock.   In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities (other than any shares or securities of another corporation issued to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to a plan of merger) are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the shares of the Trust Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, or consolidation involving the Company, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Trust Stock for purposes of this Agreement.

 

8.         Representations of Rollins.   Rollins hereby represents and warrants to Tippie that Rollins has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and has not, prior to the date of this Agreement, executed or delivered any proxy or entered into any other agreement relative to voting or investment control over the Trust Stock or any similar arrangement other than one which has expired or terminated prior to the date thereof.

 

9.         Enforceability; Validity.   Each Stockholder expressly agrees that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with its terms against the other parties hereto.

 

10.       Further Assurances.   The parties agree to cooperate in executing such additional documents, instruments or filings and taking such other further actions as may be necessary or desirable to effect the intent of this Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement, the Trust Stock will be reissued as required by the Trust and the transfer agent of the Company may rely on instructions relative to such reissuance from an executive officer of the Company or a majority of the trustees under the Trust.

 

11.       General Provisions.

 

(a)      This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and may only be modified in writing.

 

(b)      This Agreement, and the rights of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

(c)      This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(d)      If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared void or unenforceable by any court or administrative board of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to have been severed from the remainder of this Agreement and this Agreement shall continue in all respects to be valid and enforceable.

 

(e)      No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by any party hereto to any other party shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies with respect to any subsequent breach.
