Ty Dillon and the GEICO Racing team are gearing up for the “Great American Race.” Already showing speed in the draft, Dillon had his No. 13 GEICO Camaro ZL1 fifth on the speed chart in first practice and was second fastest in final practice. He will compete in Thursday night’s second qualifying duel to determine his starting position. This will be Dillon’s fifth appearance in the Daytona 500.

In the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series at Daytona International Speedway, Dillon has an average start of 24.0 and an average finish of 22.8. He logged his best finish of sixth place in the summer of 2018 in the GEICO Camaro ZL1; it was also his career-best finish. His best start of 12th place came in the 2016 Daytona 500. Dillon has one top-10 finish and has led 10 laps of MENCS competition at the famed racetrack. In his nine NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Daytona, he has earned one top-five finish, two top-10 finishes, one pole award in 2016 and has led 34 laps of competition. He has run three NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series races at Daytona. Dillon never finished outside the top 11, earned the pole award in 2015 and led 93 laps of competition.
