Austin Dillon Finishes 14th in 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Finale

Austin Dillon closed out the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season with a 14th-place finish in Richard Childress Racing’s No. 3 Dow Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday evening. Dillon started the 267-lap race from the 10th spot but dropped to 20th on the initial run as he struggled with a tight-handling Chevrolet and also brushed the wall after making contact with oil on the racing surface. When the caution flag was displayed on lap 13 it provided the Slugger Labbe-led team an opportunity to pit for four tires, fuel, chassis adjustments and to repair right-side damage. Dillon restarted 17th when green flag racing resumed on lap 18 and spent the majority of the race battling handling conditions that altered from tight to loose as he navigated around the 1.5-mile speedway. The conditions Dillon faced were addressed through routine trips down pit road for air pressure and chassis adjustments. The Welcome, N.C., driver was scored in the 15th position on lap 148 when the race leader passed him, pinning him one lap down. The caution flag was displayed one lap later granting Dillon the Lucky Dog position. He pitted for 4 tires, fuel and the team took another opportunity to make repairs to the right side of the Dow Chevy before Dillon restarted 15th on lap 152. The Dow Chevrolet was best on long green-flag runs and Dillon raced his way as high as 12th before ultimately posting a 14th-place finish when a late-race debris caution set the field for a restart with seven laps remaining.
