In three NASCAR Cup Series starts, Dillon has completed every lap possible, earning his best finish of 15th in the 2019 event. The veteran put his rain racing abilities on full display in the 2020 race, leading five laps en route to a stage one victory in adverse conditions.
In 2021, Dillon made his lone NASCAR Xfinity Series start at the ROVAL, where he started 25th and finished 26th.

– Painting Turtles: Last month, Dillon visited the speedway during their ROVAL preparations to spend time decorating “turtle” curbs with some local fifth graders as part of the Iredell County Smart Start Literacy Program. At the event, Dillon’s daughter, Oakley, painted her own “turtle”, featuring a heartwarming painting of a No. 42 car.

I’ve always enjoyed road course racing and have run well at the ROVAL in the past. This season our road course program has been pretty good and definitely the tracks where we’ve performed better. I think this weekend will be a good weekend for our No. 42 QuickChek Chevy team.”
