Some say Ty Dillon has had everything handed to him, his grandfather being Richard Childress and all, but he has had to work extremely hard to get where he is today. Being in the shadow of his older brother Austin doesn't discourage him at all, in fact it inspires him. Seeing his brother win the Camping World Truck Series Championship last year made him believe he can accomplish that too. Starting his rookie Truck series season in 2012 doesn't stop him from keeping his trend of winning races every week. He goes into every race with the same passion as he did in late models and the ARCA series. The thing is Ty Dillon has pure talent, and that can sometimes be hard to find in our sport today.
Ty Dillon started his racing career in the K & N Pro East series and the ARCA series. He started K & N Pro in 2009 where he competed in 8 of the 10 races. Winning 1 race he finished 13th in points. In 2011 he started a full time ARCA schedule after winning 2 races in 3 starts. During 2011 he snatched an impressive 7 wins and won the 2011 ARCA championship over Chris Buescher by 340 points. Ty made his Camping World Truck Series debut in 2011 at Kentucky Motor Speedway also. Dillon was starting to prepare for the full time 2012 Truck series deal with grandfather Richard Childress' team. He finished 18th, excellent for a rookie debut. You thought that was amazing, wait until you read this. In only his 2nd Truck Series start he finished 3rd at Texas Motor Speedway! He went on to finish 9th at the finale in Homestead where brother Austin won the series championship. He recently finished 9th at Daytona this year for the first time in the #3 truck. He made veteran like passes and dodged wrecks like it was nothing.
Ty Dillon has had to work to get where he is today. He went through many small divisions to build up skill. Even though his grandfather had the equipment he never rushed into things. Yeah, he may have the equipment and sponsorship (not to mention the famous #3) of RCR, but he has the talent to stay in NASCAR for a long time. I say he will win a Truck Series championship in the next few years before moving to Nationwide and Cup, which I think he will eventually get to and be successful along with his brother Austin Dillon, a few years down the road. With 3 top tens in 4 starts Ty will have a successful year in trucks. Obviously when your grandfather is Richard Childress and your brother is reigning Camping World Truck Series Champion who have some confidence. Ty is in it to win it and in the right place to make things happen. He will shine in NASCAR for a long time, I just know it.
