Quotable
“We’re coming off of our best finish of the season in ninth and looking forward to continuing the momentum this weekend at such a historic track. I’m really excited to have Dawson Sutton joining the team too. He’s found so much success in such a short time racing, and he’s been soaking up as much information as he can before he runs this race.” Ty Dillon

“It’s really exciting to be making this start at a track like North Wilkesboro Speedway, a place with so much history that got brought back to life last year. I made sure to make the trip to Kansas Speedway two weeks prior to my start to learn a lot from my Rackley W.A.R. teammate Ty Dillon and the rest of the crew, and to soak in as much information as I can. The team is ready to go and I’m looking forward to making the most of this opportunity too.” Dawson Sutton

“It’s not as hard as people make it out to be. It’s just going to be more grip and a little more forgiving. We just have to make sure we get the truck to turn well and handle this new pavement.” Ty Dillon crew chief Shane Wilson

“This is no doubt a huge step for Dawson in his driving career and speaks volumes of his development. He’s wrapped his mind around learning and growing his skillset in the race car, and the entire race team is really pumped to add him to our North Wilkesboro roster with Ty Dillon. We are super excited about the growth of our program. Team Chevrolet has been a huge help in Dawson’s development with us and we are extremely thankful for our relationship with those folks all around.” Dawson Sutton crew chief Willie Allen
