Dover Details … Saturday’s 200-lap affair marks Dillon’s second appearance at the “Monster Mile” in the Nationwide Series. Dillon made his first-career start in the sophomore racing division last June at the one-mile facility where he started from the third position and finished eighth.

Double Dose of Dillon … The 21-year-old driver will participate in his first double duty weekend of the 2013 season at Dover International Speedway this weekend. In addition to his racing duties with the No. 33 WESCO team, he’ll pilot his full time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series entry in Friday afternoon’s 200-lap event in the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet.

Nationwide in 2013 … Dillon will share the No. 33 entry with an all-star driver line-up in 2013 under the RCR banner. The 21-year-old driver is slated for nine Nationwide Series events through the course of the 33-week schedule. In addition to the races with WESCO, Dillon will pilot the Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway and Richmond International Raceway.

TY DILLON QUOTES:

This weekend’s 200-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series event will mark your fourth start in the Series this season. What are your thoughts heading into the weekend?

“Dover International Speedway is a lot of fun to race. I’m lucky enough to be able to race in both the NASCAR Camping World Truck and Nationwide Series races this weekend. I competed in both events last year, and it gave me a lot of added experience. I’ll head back there this year with a little extra confidence and hopefully get the job done.”
