Austin Dillon Earns Best-Career Atlanta Motor Speedway Finish with 11th-Place Showing in Dow Chevrolet

“It was a decent race for us again and I’m proud of the fast car that the Dow racing team provided. We were challenged with improving our performance as an organization over last year on downforce races and 1.5-mile tracks and I think we showed that we can perform. We still have work to do, but I earned my best Sprint Cup finish at Atlanta and that says a lot about the start to our season. I do think we can get better on pit road. We struggled a little bit on green-flag stops today. Overall, it was another good finish to start the year, though, so it was a solid day in the points.”

“I’ve been looking forward to today’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s one of my favorite tracks that we go to. We just got a bad set of tires that we had to adjust for. It messed us up for a few runs but we were able to come back from it towards the end. I’m proud of my guys for pushing today and not giving up.”

Cut Tire Slows Ryan Newman to 24th-Place Finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway

“Hats off to this Cat team today. They gave me a fun car to drive. The guys on pit road did a great job. There are no complaints from me about today. We are moving in the right direction, that’s for sure. I thought we might have a tire going down there at the end and was riding it out and hoping for the best but it cut down. Despite what happened, we’re encouraged not discouraged.”
