“It feels like two of my favorite things are intersecting this weekend – the Western lifestyle and racing,” said Dillon. “I am so thankful to Patrick Gottsch and everyone on his team for highlighting The Cowboy Channel, the Cowboy Channel Plus app, and of course, the Carolina Cowboys on the No. 3 car this weekend.”
Dillon, the 2018 Daytona 500 Champion, is also general manager of the Carolina Cowboys, an elite league featuring the world’s top bull riders competing in games throughout the country in the PBR Teams Series.
