Ty Dillon, the grandson of legendary NASCAR owner Richard Childress, will drive in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2024. Dillon will drive the No. 25 Chevrolet for the Rackley W.A.R. team. He will replace Matt DiBenedetto who drove the truck for Rackley W.A.R. in the team’s first two seasons in existence. It’s the first time Dillon has driven full time in the truck series since 2013.
Move From DiBenedetto to Dillon
Rackley W.A.R. President and COO Willie Allen announced Dillon as the new driver Friday calling him an “exceptional talent” and a “perfect fit” to help elevate the team. Dillon called the opportunity an “honor” and said he was excited to get back to the series where he first jumped into NASCAR.
Meanwhile, the Rackley W.A.R. team’s move away from Matt DiBenedetto was a bit surprising since he won a race in his first season with the team and made the playoffs in his second season. But the team and driver parted ways with three races left in the season after being eliminated from the playoffs finishing in ninth places overall.
