Austin Dillon

#3

Austin Dillon drives the #3 Crate Late Model Class car.  His home track is 311 Speedway but he can also be found racing in north Georgia.  He lives in Welcome, NC.

Team members helping Austin are:  Dale McDowell, the car owner.

Austin started racing in 2005 in the Bandolero Class at Lowes Motor Speedway because there is a history of racing in his family and he thought he'd try it.  His first win was in 2005 in the Bandolero Class at Concord Motorsports Park.  Career highlights include driving Super Late Model at Florence Speedway and his first Legend car win at Concord Motorsports Park.

The thrill of racing for Austin is the speed and the adrenaline rush.  His most exciting racing moment was starting outside row four and in 25 laps coming to the front and winning in his Legend car at Concord Motorsports Park.  He's most proud of jumping in bigger, faster cars with little experience and doing well.

Austin's racing hero is Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Of racing, Austin says, "It's a sport where you push the limits at all times and all the pressure is on yourself and it is the #1 spectator sport in America!".
