Ty Dillon still unsure of 2016 plans:

As Ty Dillon spent Friday preparing for Saturday’s XFINITY race at IMS, the 23-year-old third-generation driver from Lewisville, North Carolina seemed just as uncertain as he did six or seven weeks ago about what exactly he’ll be doing next year. “Nothing’s really changed yet, no announcements yet, but we’re still working and the plan is still to be in Cup full time,” Dillon said. Whether that will be with RCR or not, though, remains to be seen, after Childress said last month at Sonoma Raceway that other teams had expressed interest in his grandson. In the meantime, Dillon is focused on more immediate matters “” specifically, trying to close his points deficit on XFINITY Series championship leader Chris Buescher and second-place Chase Elliott. With the season about to enter its stretch run, Dillon believes it’s go time if he wants to make a serious title bid “” even if there seems to be no big rush to nail down plans for 2016.(FoxSports)(7-27-2015)
