Including the last NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Iowa, Ty Dillon has registered three runner-up finishes and 22 top-five showings since his last win 61 starts ago at Indianapolis (2014).

Known to have a “winning means everything” mindset, Dillon will attempt to make his next visit to Victory Lane in Friday’s Subway Firecracker 250 presented by Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway (7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN).

In six starts at The World Center of Racing, the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing driver claims one top-five finish (a third-place showing in 2015) and two top-10 performances. Dillon won the pole in his last start at Daytona in February, but finished 13th.

“I enjoy superspeedway racing, but we’ve had a little bad luck so far this season,” Dillon said. “The goal is always to win the race, but we have struggled to finish inside the top 10. I think with this new XFINITY Series Chase format, we can afford to be a little more aggressive, but we also would like to keep the car clean and finish the race.”

Despite not faring well at superspeedways in his young career, Dillon believes he has the tools to succeed.

“I feel that we are at an advantage on tracks like these for a few reasons; one being the ECR Engines power that we bring to the track and two, being my spotter, Billy O’Dea. He and I work pretty well together when I’m on the race track. He has the eyes in the sky and is always a huge help at superspeedways.”
