Ty Dillon will team up with Richard Childress Racing to make another appearance in the NASCAR Cup Series.
When he drives a car for Richard Childress Racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, NASCAR driver Ty Dillon will be back behind the wheel of a vehicle in the Cup Series.
Dillon will be racing the No. 33 Titan Risk Solutions Chevrolet in the Brickyard 400, RCR and Dillon confirmed on Tuesday.
Dillon will be competing in his 243rd race of his career in the Cup Series after currently serving as a driver in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. He has won in the Xfinity Series at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but he hasn’t won in the Cup Series.
Dillon stated in a press release, “I’m excited to race on the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway once again, especially behind the wheel of the No. 33 Titan Risk Solutions Chevrolet.” “I’ve been lucky enough to share a memorable moment with RCR—kissing the bricks at the historic track. The memories resurface every time we travel to Indianapolis. I am appreciative of the chance and excited to represent Titan Risk Solutions with great success.
Dillon competed in the USA TODAY 301 for Kaulig Racing at Loudon earlier this year, which was his final NASCAR Cup Series event. He completed P16.
Denny Hamlin feels the Brickyard 400 will be chaotic.
Drivers should expect some chaos for Sunday’s Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, according to Denny Hamlin. In an interview with Actions Detrimental, Hamlin discussed the racetrack and made a comparison to Pocono Raceway.
About Indianapolis, Hamlin stated, “It will be a track-position type racetrack.” “Restarts are going to be crazy. I believe that restarts will resemble Pocono in that players will be attempting to cram it into spaces that don’t exist.
Hamlin went on to say that the track in Indianapolis is more narrow than what the drivers saw at Pocono this past weekend in NASCAR.
“Pocono at least has two and a half to three legit lanes. If you put the cars side-by-side-by-side of each other, it’s three lanes wide,” he said. “That means that’s actually two lanes wide when you’re actually racing because you got to leave a little bit of room.
“Indy is one lane. And when I say one lane, it’s one lane. …We all know being on the outside is not going to be preferred at that place. You’re gonna want to be on the bottom, and then what’s going to happen is we’re going to go down these long straightaways, and everyone’s going to try three-wide bottom. Everyone’s going to try to merge, and usually you’re probably going to see a lot of wrecks late.”
