Austin Dillon in the #3 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Chevrolet clinched Raybestos Rookie of the Year in tonight’s Ford 200. Dillon captured the first Raybestos Rookie of the Year title for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Trucks and their first rookie title in any of the three NASCAR national series since Kevin Harvick earned Raybestos Rookie of the Year in the 2001 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Dillon racked up TWO victories in 2010: the Lucas Oil 200 at Iowa and the Smith’s Food and Drug Stores 350 at Las Vegas. He is the first Raybestos Rookie to win multiple races since Carl Edwards won three times in 2003. Dillon finished the season with seven top-five and 16 top-10 finishes in 25 races and claimed top rookie honors 16 times. Dillon finished fifth in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship standings, 36 points ahead of sixth-place Timothy Peters.(Raybestos PR)(11-19-2010)
