Lexington, N.C. (March 25, 2024) – Kaulig Racing announces that Ty Dillon will make his first 2024 NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) start in the No. 16 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at Richmond Raceway on March 31.
Dillon, a 10-year NCS veteran with over 200 career starts, will compete in a limited schedule for Kaulig Racing.
“I’m excited to be back in the NASCAR Cup Series with Kaulig Racing,” said Dillon. “This is the highest level of our sport and allows me to go out and prove what I can do with great leaders in Matt Kaulig, Chris Rice, Travis Mack, and the entire team. Kaulig Racing gives me the best opportunity to showcase what I can do on the track.”
Dillon, grandson of Hall of Fame team owner Richard Childress, is currently competing for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title.
“We’re excited to have Ty Dillon compete for Kaulig Racing this season in the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Chris Rice, President of Kaulig Racing. “With our continued success in the sport and support from Richard Childress Racing, it made perfect sense to lean on a veteran driver to help pilot the No.16 NCS.”
