Runner-up Finish at Coliseum Dillon finished second in the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum Sunday night.

Impact The Richard Childress Racing veteran was a fixture among the Top 5 for most of this 150-lap feature. A race that offered many spins and cautions, and Dillon managed to stay out of the rough stuff. That caution and care would pay off late as Dillon would get around both Bubba Wallace and Kyle Busch to earn the impressive runner-up finish. Dillon finished third in this exhibition event one year ago.

Xfinity Start at Fontana Kaulig Racing announced that Dillon will pilot the team's No. 10 Xfinity Series car in the second race of the season at Auto Club Speedway.

Impact With Landon Cassill unable to compete in the full schedule this season, the No. 10 entry is going to be open for a handful of starts. Dillon will take the wheel in the second event of the season at Fontana. This is great news for Kaulig Racing. Dillon is a very capable driver, and has the ability to challenge for the win in this race.

New Crew Chief Next Season Keith Rodden will join Richard Childress Racing as crew chief of the No. 3 Chevrolet driven by Dillon in 2023.

Impact Rodden will replace Justin Alexander atop the No. 3 team's war wagon next season for driver Dillon. Alexander is moving into a Director of Vehicle Performance position at RCR and leaving the crew chief position. Rodden has 139 starts of prior Cup Series crew chief experience with one victory and 41 Top-10 finishes to his credit. His veteran experience should be a good complement to Dillon's 334 starts of experience at NASCAR's top level.

Top-5 Finish at Homestead Dillon finished fourth in the Dixie Vodka 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Impact Dillon fetched one of his best finishes of the season Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The RCR veteran started deep in the field and methodically raced his way to the front. Dillon would crack the Top 5 by the end of stage 1 and run a smart race with sound pit strategy from that point. In the final green-flag laps he'd shore up that great track position and secure an impressive fourth-place finish. It was Dillon's fifth Top 5 of the season.
