[autotag]Ty Dillon[/autotag] was linked to a full-time ride with [autotag]Kaulig Racing[/autotag] in the offseason; however, it never came to fruition. Dillon ended up at Rackley W.A.R. in the NASCAR Truck Series, while Kaulig Racing has the No. 16 car as a full-time entry with part-time drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series. Now, the two sides are finally coming together.
Kaulig Racing announced on Monday morning that Dillon will drive the No. 16 Cup car in five races this season, starting at Richmond Raceway this weekend. The former Spire Motorsports driver will also run at Texas Motor Speedway on April 14, New Hampshire Motor Speedway on June 23, Richmond Raceway on August 11, and Kansas Speedway on Spetember 29.

It will be fascinating to see how Dillon runs, as this likely would be the best Cup Series equipment of his career. The driver of the No. 25 truck currently sits 19th in the point standings after a rough start to the season. Dillon’s journey back to the Cup Series starts at Richmond on Sunday, and he must make the best of it with the limited amount of races in 2024.
