They brought a young NASCAR Euro driver, Max Mason, to test at Hickory this past summer.They did venture out to thebeautifulstate of Sachsen-Anhalt and made their EuroNASCAR debut with Ryan Vargas driving at Oschersleben.
Are they gonna make it to Cup? Not in a million years.
Narrative.Keep your hands on your wallets.
Dale also kinda spoiled on the DJD last week that it would in fact be Ty Dillon in the 16 Cup car.private Rumors is saying Dinger and Williams will be the full timers for Kaulig in Xfinity
Huh didn't expect that...is he bringing money?Dale also kinda spoiled on the DJD last week that it would in fact be Ty Dillon in the 16 Cup car.
Big opportunity for Josh Williams if so.
I was always surprised Dinger agreed to run Cup in the first place. His returning to Xfinity won't surprise me at all.private Rumors is saying Dinger and Williams will be the full timers for Kaulig in Xfinity
I've been a fan of what Kaulig has been trying to do, but this these moves just completely befuddle me. I would LOVE to know what the motive and theory on these decisions were. Looks like a HUGE step backwards to me. Dinger had his limitations, but he's a guy that could certainly win a race and maybe get into the second round. I don't see either one of these guys being in the same ZIP Code as the playoff drivers.Their lineup for '24 is Hemric and Dillon? Talking about taking a step or two backward.
I’m pretty curious about that myself. I would assume so, but it’s hard to tell where from.Huh didn't expect that...is he bringing money?
As Jordan Bianchi said on the Teardown with Jeff Gluck maybe he sold a bunch of shirts after Atlanta in the spring.I’m pretty curious about that myself. I would assume so, but it’s hard to tell where from.
I have no issue with them taking a shot with Hemric. Maybe his second go round in cup will be better. Dinger is a better driver than Ty Dillon…no question. My guess is Ty is getting his ride as some type of quid pro quo Kaulig has with Grandpa Childress. Ty has always been the black sheep, but RC seems to keep him employed somewhere within the sport (Other than on HIS team).I've been a fan of what Kaulig has been trying to do, but this these moves just completely befuddle me.

I think pop pop throws in some reduced priced alliance infoHuh didn't expect that...is he bringing money?
No I meant the Josh Williams partI think pop pop throws in some reduced priced alliance info

Hemric is a great guy who has won a single race. Period.I have no issue with them taking a shot with Hemric. Maybe his second go round in cup will be better.

I could care less, it isn't a dime out of my pocket, but Gragson stands a hell of a better shot at doing something than Hemric or Ty Damn Dillion. I'm constantly surprised Hemric or Dillion aren't driving late models full time somewhere.How much money is Gragson bringing to SHR? Because he isn't the one I would want if I had sponsorship holes to fill.

Where is the evidence that Ty knows how to make crappy equipment better? If that were the case, one would think Pop Pop would have put him to work at the mothership instead of always farming him out. At one time, many of us thought Ty was the more talented brother, but as average as Austin has been, when was the last time Ty got more out of a car than we had a right to expect?Ty Dillon would bring a lot to Kaulig. Clearly their oval program needs to be improved. Ty is a veteran who knows crappy equipment, and presumably, how to make it better.... or he would've been out long ago. AJ was similar-ish.... but his last Cup run was the dinosaur era.
Think Michael McDowell, Buescher, Stenhouse...

I wouldn’t bet on Ty Dillon to be the one to improve Kaulig’s oval program, or anything else in that outfit. Those 3 drivers you mentioned have displayed some iota of talent or know how over the years, Dillon has demonstrated to be a moving obstacle each week…I don’t think he gives you much more than a hope to bring home the car in one pieceTy Dillon would bring a lot to Kaulig.

He's made starts for:
RCR
Leaving Family Racing
Stewart Haas
Tommy Baldwin
Germain (Full Time) 2 top 5s 6 top 10s
Gaunt Brothers
Petty GMS (Full Time) 1 top 10
Spire (Full time)
Ty is who Ty is, the results don't say he gets more out of the equipment.
