After the Xfinity race, Dillon will pilot his #3 BETMGM Chevrolet Camaro for Richard Childress Racing in Sunday’s Verizon 200 at the Brickyard, where he will be turning laps for his fourth road course race of the season. Dillon, who sits below the playoffs cutline, will be working hard to win a playoff ticket. Winning the Xfinity race will be a plus, but winning the Cup race will be a game changer as the regular season only has five races to go. According to Austin Dillon, aggressiveness is one of his strategies to make it to the playoffs this weekend. He is the only driver in Richard Childress Racing who hasn’t made it to the playoffs since recently booked his spot. The 32-year-old driver believes the aggressive strategy might work out if he and his crew team can do their work accordingly. In a media interaction, Austin Dillon said: “You just have to be aggressive. With the number of winners this season, we’re going to have to win to make it into the NASCAR Playoffs. This Richard Childress Racing team is strong, and I know we can get the job done. Things have to line up and we have to have a perfect day in order to get to Victory Lane. That means I have to do my job, the pit crew has to do their job and the strategy has to play out.” For the last three road courses Dillon’s best finish has been P10 at the Circuit of the Americas. He went on to score a P11 finish at Sonoma and eventually ended up recording a disappointing finish at Road America, where he placed P31. Even apart from the road course races, has been an average performer, scoring in the top-20s in most races. In his 22 starts this season, he has recorded eight top-ten finishes, including two runners-up finishes.
