For the 2024 season, Ty Dillon was racing full-time for Rackley WAR in the Craftsman Truck Series. After running with the team for 18 races, the team decided to give a young driver a chance. Dawson Sutton will be taking over the seat in the No. 25 car, but that does not mean the team let Ty Dillon go.

Ty Dillon will continue to work with the team as a mentor to Dawson Sutton until the season ends. This year, Dillon has taken part in all the national series of NASCAR, and while he was full-time in the Truck Series, he was on a part-time deal for the other two. However, judging by the way things are going, it looks like Dillon might be leaving his Truck Series seat to find his way back as a full-time Cup Series driver.

Ty Dillon: From driver to mentor

Ty Dillon made his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series back in 2011. He soon progressed to the Xfinity Series the next year, and by 2014, he made his debut in the No. 33 RCR Chevy. This has been quite a journey for him, and he got a full-time seat in the Cup Series back in 2017 with Germain Racing. After four years of driving with the team, he decided to move on, which was not the best decision for him.

moved to the Xfinity Series and then had to step down to Truck racing again. However, after spending years in training and practicing, 2025 might be the year for Ty Dillon to get back to the major leagues. Bob Pockrass posted on September 23, “Dawson Sutton will drive the Rackley WAR No. 25 truck the rest of the year. Ty Dillon will remain as a mentor to Sutton. Dillon remains a candidate for a Cup ride at Kaulig next year.”

From the above statements, the only thing confirmed is that Dillon will be Sutton’s mentor after giving up his seat. Although there is no confirmation about his seat in the Cup Series, the rumors of Kaulig Racing being interested in him are starting to catch on with the community. While many know that Ty Dillon is the grandchild of Richard Childress, some may not realize that the co-owner of Rackley WAR is Dawson Sutton’s father.

Richard Childress Racing and Kaulig Racing are friendly teams, and that’s where a chance to hire Ty Dillon comes into play. When the news of Ty Dillon being replaced was announced, the driver made a public statement saying, “I am thankful to everyone at Rackley WAR for the opportunity to make my return to the Truck Series. I look forward to mentoring Dawson [Sutton] for the remainder of this season and am very excited to focus on my future plans behind the wheel in 2025.”

However, Dillon was not the only one to share a statement about this change. The co-owner of Rackley WAR also wanted to thank the 32-year-old, and here’s how he did it.

Driving for a team full-time means getting reviews from the boss, and that’s exactly what happened with Ty Dillon following the news of his replacement. William Allen, the co-owner of Rackley WAR, spoke about Ty Dillon’s contribution to the team. Allen stated, “We are super thankful for the job Ty has done for us this year as our primary driver.”

Further extending his gratitude, Allen added, “We appreciate his willingness to take on an additional role and help Dawson grow and develop as a young driver for the remainder of the NASCAR Truck Series season. We look forward to Ty’s continued valuable input and support in the ongoing development of our race program.”

So far, there is no confirmation from Rackley WAR that they will be hiring Dawson Sutton as a full-time driver for the team. But with Ty Dillon relieved from his duties, the question remains: Who will be the No. 25 car’s full-time driver in 2025?
