Dillon Wins At Iowa; Sets Milestone For Racing Family

On Sunday Austin Dillon became the second-youngest winner in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series’ history by winning at Iowa Speedway. Dillon led 187 laps from the pole en route to posting a perfect Driver Rating of 150.0.

It was his third consecutive start from the pole and third straight top-five finish. Dillon gained four positions in the series standings and now sits seventh – just 267 out of the lead.

Dillon, the grandson of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner Richard Childress, is the only member of the Childress family to earn a NASCAR victory. In 258 starts his grandfather’s highest finish was third at Nashville Speedway in 1978. His father, Mike Dillon, general manager of Richard Childress Racing, made 154 NASCAR starts and scored a career-best fourth place finish at Dover International Speedway in 1997 and Hickory Speedway in 1998.
