Sep. 27—Lebanon’s Dawson Sutton assumed the primary driving duties for the No. 25 Rackley W.A.R. Chevrolet in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series beginning at Kansas Speedway last night.
Rackley W.A.R. and Ty Dillon mutually agreed to switch roles for the remainder of the season. As Dillon focuses on his future plans, the veteran racer will remain with the team as a driver coach and mentor to Sutton with the rookie driver navigating his transition from the Pro and Super Late Model circuits to a potential full-time opportunity in the Truck Series.
The 18-year-old has made two Craftgsman Truck Series starts this season at North Wilkesboro Speedway (May 18) and Nashville Superspeedway (June 28).
“We are super-thankful for the job Ty has done for us this year as our primary driver,” said team co-owner, Willie Allen. “We appreciate his willingness to take on an additional role and help Dawson grow and develop as a young driver for the remainder of the NASCAR Truck Series season. We look forward to Ty’s continued valuable input and support in the ongoing development of our race program.”
