Sugarland Shine x Field & Stream: For the race this weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Sugarlands Distilling Company, in collaboration with Field & Stream, will adorn the No. 10 Chevrolet with Ty Dillon and Kaulig Racing. Field & Stream collaborated with Mossy Oak on the paint scheme, fire suit, and helmet to celebrate Mossy Oak’s iconic, vintage Fall Foliage camouflage pattern, bringing the spirit of the great outdoors to the high banks and bright lights of Las Vegas. Dillon’s No. 10 will also highlight the return of Field & Stream Honey Pecan Moonshine, a fan-favorite produced by Sugarlands that blends the smooth sweetness of natural honey with the warm, nutty flavors of toasted pecans. An avid outdoorsman himself, Dillon is the ideal driver to pilot a car that celebrates the intersection of racing and outdoor traditions.

“It’s going to a fun trip to Las Vegas. It’s a track where I have a lot of confidence at and it was one of the first mile-and-a-half tracks we ran this year. It’s been a long time since we’ve been there, but it’s a place where I look forward to going. The last two weeks have been really strong. Our efforts and process have been good, we just haven’t gotten the results, but we’re building momentum off those weeks and the process. We’re going in to the Las Vegas this weekend with a lot of momentum and excitement.”
