Ty Dillon is enjoying his run in the NASCAR In-Season Tournament and is ready to take on Ty Gibbs in the championship round. On the Door Bumper Clear podcast<\/a>, Dillon shared his thoughts on his run in the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been fun. It\u2019s been a cool ride and just having fun with it too,\u201d Ty Dillon said. \u201cThis part of the season for our team, we\u2019re not getting a whole lot of pub, typically in years past. This In-Season Tournament has given us some focus to kind of show our personality, my personality, and have fun with something that\u2019s a little different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans have really clinged on to it. It\u2019s been a fun run with them, too, along this thing. Man, I\u2019m having a blast, and just every weekend, I\u2019m like, I can\u2019t believe it. We\u2019re just kind of bloating, and something big\u2019s going on here, and we\u2019re just going to keep riding it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ty Dillon previews NASCAR In-Season Tournament championship<\/p>\n

Dillon entered the tournament as the No. 32 seed. He took on No. 1 seed Denny Hamlin at Atlanta and won the matchup after Hamlin was collected in a crash. He then got past Brad Keselowski in the second round at Chicago, and he then defeated Alex Bowman in the third round at Sonoma. This past weekend, Dillon just finished past John Hunter Nemechek in the fourth round at Dover.<\/p>\n

The NASCAR In-Season Tournament championship will take place at the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Dillon knows Gibbs will be hard to beat, but he\u2019s confident he can come away with a win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you this real belief that going into Indy, anything can happen,\u201d Dillon said about his previous matchups in the tournament. \u201cI know Ty is going to be super fast, and it\u2019s going to be a lot for us to keep up with him on raw speed. But anything can happen, and I\u2019m well aware of that now. <\/p>\n

If Dillon beats Gibbs at Indianapolis, he will be NASCAR\u2019s In-Season Tournament champion and receive the $1 million prize for his team<\/a>. It will be his first big achievement in his Cup Series career and would give him and Kaulig Racing a big boost going forward. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ty Dillon is enjoying his run in the NASCAR In-Season Tournament and is ready to take on Ty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[425,99],"class_list":["post-35624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
