Of the 31 drivers entered, Ty Dillon is the only previous truck winner at this 1.54-mile racetrack. Dillon won the last truck race here in August 2012. He was a rookie in the series at the time.<\/p>\n
“I love racing at Atlanta,” Dillon said. “My first time racing a truck there, I sat on the pole and won my first ever NASCAR race. It was great.”<\/p>\n
Dillon is now a full-time competitor in Xfinity. He will have a busy day of racing at Atlanta.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been really working out hard this offseason to make sure I’m in shape to run as many races as I plan on running this year,” he said.<\/p>\n
Dillon, the younger brother of Sprint Cup Series regular Austin Dillon and the grandson of NASCAR multi-team owner Richard Childress, turned 23 years old on Friday.<\/p>\n
Erik Jones, Ryan Sieg, Daniel Suarez and John Wes Townley are also scheduled to compete in both the Xfinity and Camping World Truck races at Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Last weekend, Tyler Reddick scored his first career victory in trucks by winning the season-opening race at Daytona. Reddick’s maiden win came in his 18th start. He is running a full schedule for Brad Keselowski Racing in the series this season.<\/p>\n
