Mike Cook named interim crew chief for Ty Dillon

Kaulig Racing has named technical director Mike Cook as the interim crew chief for Ty Dillon and the No. 10 team beginning this weekend at Martinsville. Cook will also lead Dillon in the 2026 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Cook will replace Andrew Dickeson, who joined Kaulig Racing ahead of the 2025 season as Dillon’s crew chief. The pair’s best finish together was an eighth-place result in the summer race at EchoPark Speedway in 2025. That performance kicked off a Cinderella run through the inaugural In-Season Challenge, culminating in a championship-round appearance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last July, where Ty Gibbs ultimately claimed the $1 million prize.
