So far this season, Dillon has has earned a top-five in each event collecting one victory, three top-five finishes and two pole awards. The 2013 Series champion is scheduled to compete in the next five-consecutive races for RCR in the No. 33 Chevrolet.
Yeah, that says a lot about the RCR NASCAR XFINITY program and the No. 33 team. They've worked really hard to put together these cars over the off season and make us competitive. Nick (Harrison, crew chief) and the guys never give up. Just because we earned a couple of pole awards and won a race doesn't mean we can sit back and not find other ways to continue to be fast each week. I'm really proud of all of their hard work and am confident we'll be able to run up front and contend for the win at a lot of tracks this season.
