Austin Dillon Clinches Spot in the NASCAR Playoffs with Dominating Performance in the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Off Road Chevrolet at Richmond Raceway

“We had a really strong Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Off Road Chevrolet and it feels good to put the No. 3 Chevrolet back in Victory Lane. It’s been two years.

This is the first car I’ve had with a shot to win. Crew Chief Justin Alexander made great strategy calls throughout the race, and we were leading by more than three seconds before the last caution flag came out. I felt like with two laps to go, we were the fastest car. We wrecked the guy to win. I hate to do that, but sometimes you just got to have it. We just never gave up. After the season we have had, the good Lord above just blessed us today. I just had to go for it. It was our opportunity. You don’t get many of those and that is what our partners, my family and RCR wants us to do, is to go and try to get a win. So, I just had to send it.”
