“One of the Top-Level Drivers”: Ty Dillon Makes Big Claim About Himself in NASCAR Cup Series

Ty Dillon is one of the NASCAR drivers facing an uncertain future in NASCAR Cup Series. The 28-year-old comes away from Talladega on the back of a fine third place at the YellaWood 500. In spite of that, there are still a number of question marks revolving around him.

Speaking after the Talladega race, he said, “I feel like I am one of the top‑level drivers in the Cup Series. I just need the correct opportunity. I proved in the Xfinity Series, every race I’ve won, if you go back and watch, I beat Kyle Busch, one of the best.”

He harked back to his win at the Brickyard and the quality of the field. Dillon insisted that his opponents were the best of the best, and he has been able to beat them.

The Chevrolet Motorsport driver declared his intention to remain in the Cup Series. According to him, once all the right pieces fall in place, he can surely win races and establish himself as a championship contender.

What else did Ty Dillon say about his NASCAR Cup Series future?

He assured, “My time is not up here. I definitely have a lot to prove still. I feel like I’m starting to reach the pinnacle of myself physically and mentally as far as a Cup driver.”

Dillon confessed that opportunities are few and far in between. However, he hopes that this weekend’s performance urges more teams to step forward, and more sponsors to approach him. He observed that the way things work is that it is up to the drivers to bring money as far as sponsorship is concerned.

He concluded, “If I have to take an opportunity to go down to the Xfinity Series, try to win races there, reprove myself, I’ll absolutely take it. I’m a hungry driver right now. I want opportunity next year to continue to prove what I can do, start fresh.”

For the moment, Dillon has to see out the remainder of the 2020 season before focusing on 2021. However he will use the remaining races to prove his mettle and attract plenty of contract offers.
