Ty Dillon will make his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the #33 Realtree/Rheem Chevrolet SS for Circle Sport Racing. Dillon, who is competing full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this season in the #3 Chevrolet Camaro, will have Nick Harrison as his crew chief for Sunday’s Oral-B USA 500. ‘It’s going to be a pretty special moment when I make those first laps this weekend, one that I won’t forget,’ said Dillon, the 22-year-old, Welcome, N.C. native. ‘I’ve been fortunate enough in my racing career to have great opportunities like this one. I’m looking forward to racing the #33 Realtree/Rheem Chevrolet under the lights on Labor Day weekend.’ Dillon is no stranger to the 1.5-mile speedway. He won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at AMS in 2012 in the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet Silverado. He also participated in the Cup Series test there on August 5 and 6. Dillon is currently third in the Nationwide Series driver point standings with 10 races remaining.(RCR)
UPDATE: Realtree, the world’s leading camouflage designer, marketer and licensor, will be on the hood of the #33 Chevy for Sunday night’s Oral-B USA 500.

Rheem, a leading provider of heating, cooling and water heating products such as gas furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioners and indoor air quality products, will be featured on the #33 Chevrolet SS this weekend. An American operated company, Rheem was founded in 1925 and is headquartered just a few miles from Atlanta Motor Speedway (Circle-Sport). see an image of the scheme on the #33 Team Schemes page.(8-26-2014)
