Ty Dillon will race full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Rackley WAR.
Dillon will carry with him 16 races worth of sponsorship from Rackley Roofing Company, which is owned by team co-owner Curtin Sutton. Partners for the remaining races will be announced at a later date.
It’s the first time in a decade that Dillon has raced in the Truck Series, where he has three wins, 20 top-5s and 36 top-10s in 58 starts before moving up to the Xfinity Series and then a lengthy Cup Series career.
Rackley WAR made its first Truck Series playoff appearance last year with Matt DiBenedetto in its third year of operation as a Truck Series program with 13 top-10s and a ninth-place championship finish.
Team co-owner Willie Allen hopes Dillon can build on that foundation in 2024.
“We’re investing in cutting-edge technology and innovative engineering to ensure Ty has one the most competitive trucks on the track,” Allen said in a press release. “This season marks a new chapter for our team. We’re ready to showcase our progress and for a championship run. We look forward to making this season the new benchmark in our racing history.”
It’s also a career reset of sorts for the younger Dillon brother.
“I’m excited to go back to the Truck Series and compete in the series that got it all started for me,” said Dillon in the release. “I have a lot of good memories from earlier in my career with winning races and poles, and our goal is to create more this season.
“Rackley W.A.R. has built a solid foundation and it’s an honor to be a part of taking them to the winning level they want to be at. I’m very appreciative of this opportunity and ready to get started in Daytona.”
How the NASCAR charter system works
Now 31-years-old, Dillon has amassed 402 Cup and Xfinity Series starts since he last raced in the Truck Series with 34 top -5s and 92 top-10s, including a NXS victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2014.
Chad Kendrick has served as crew chief for the No. 25 truck since 2021 but will not return to the organization next year.
