Kaulig Racing announced today that Ty Dillon will make his first 2024 NASCAR Cup Series start of the season in the team’s No. 16 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at Richmond Raceway on March 31st. The 10-year Cup Series veteran with over 200 career starts will compete in a limited schedule for the up-and-coming Kaulig Racing team.

“I’m excited to be back in the NASCAR Cup Series with Kaulig Racing,” said Dillon. “This is the highest level of our sport and allows me to go out and prove what I can do with great leaders in Matt Kaulig, Chris Rice, Travis Mack, and the entire team. Kaulig Racing gives me the best opportunity to showcase what I can do on the track.”

The 31-year-old driver, who is the grandson of legendary NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, is currently running for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship. His addition to Kaulig’s Cup program adds valuable experience as the team continues to expand its presence at NASCAR’s top level.

“We’re excited to have Ty Dillon compete for Kaulig Racing this season in the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Chris Rice, President of Kaulig Racing. “With our continued success in the sport and support from Richard Childress Racing, it made perfect sense to lean on a veteran driver to help pilot the No. 16 NCS.”

In addition to Richmond, Dillon’s limited 2024 Cup slate with Kaulig Racing includes:

• Texas Motor Speedway (April 14)
• New Hampshire Motor Speedway (June 23)
• Richmond (August 11)
• Kansas Speedway (September 29)
