Anyone who’s listened to Ty Dillon speak knows there’s only one goal he has on his mind when getting on a race track.
Winning.
Although he’s already captured a berth in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase on the strength of his seven top-five and 13 top-10 finishes, Dillon wants to celebrate in Victory Lane before it starts at Kentucky Speedway two races from now. His first chance will be in Friday’s Virginia529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway (7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN).
“First off, we’re super excited to be in the position that we are in and it’s great to be able to compete for the championship,” Dillon said. “We feel really good about the tracks we visit in each round of the Chase, considering we’re heading back there for the second time for most of these tracks. That being said, we’d still like to win a race and carry some momentum into the first round at Kentucky Speedway.”
The No. 3 Richard Childress Racing driver finished second in the April race at Richmond and has scored a top-10 finish in each of his last four starts there.
“We’re going to be very aggressive this weekend at Richmond, and hopefully duplicate our efforts from the spring, where we ran second most of the day,” Dillon said. “Richmond is pretty difficult from a technical standpoint, but we’re ready for the challenge and hopefully finish one position better than last time.”
