Ty Dillon — Homestead preview:

This week’s 134-lap event marks Ty Dillon’s, #3-Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Chevrolet, second appearance at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the Camping World Truck Series. The 20-year-old driver collected a sixth-place finish last November in his first start at the track. Ty Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 026 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable in Friday’s season finale race. This is the same chassis that Dillon drove to Victory Lane at Atlanta Motor Speedway in August. Dillon also utilized this RCR machine at Kentucky Speedway in September where he finished third and Texas Motor Speedway in November where he finished in the fifth position. Dillon is third in the 2012 Camping World Truck Series driver championship point standings, 12 markers behind the leader going into the final race of the season. Dillon also leads the 2012 Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings over driver Cale Gale.(Richard Childress Racing PR)(11-14-2012)
