[autotag]Austin Dillon[/autotag]’s future with [autotag]Richard Childress Racing[/autotag] has been a significant topic of conversation lately. Dillon has struggled in the No. 3 car, as he sits 31st in the point standings, only above Justin Haley, Harrison Burton, and Zane Smith. Despite those struggles, Dillon’s future in the NASCAR Cup Series appears to be secured beyond 2024.
According to The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi, Dillon recently signed a multi-year contract extension to continue driving the No. 3 car for Richard Childress Racing. The 34-year-old driver’s performances have been baffling. Dillon only has two top-20 finishes in 14 races, with a best finish of eighth place at Texas Motor Speedway.
Dillon has really struggled after the 2022 NASCAR season, with only one top-5 finish and eight top-10 finishes in the last 50 races. Yet, Dillon’s seat is safe for the foreseeable future. Richard Childress Racing must find a way to unlock the potential of the No. 3 team because Dillon hasn’t been competitive since his win at Daytona International Speedway in August 2022.
