Ty Dillon, the 28-year-old from Lewisville, North Carolina, will make his 163rd career NASCAR Cup Series start upon qualifying for The Great American Race. He’ll drive the No. 96 Bass Pro Shops/Black Rifle Coffee Company Toyota Camry, marking his first points-paying start behind the wheel of a Toyota. Dillon is the 2011 ARCA Menards Series champion and has 10 career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Daytona with three top-10 finishes, including a fourth-place drive in the 2019 Coke Zero Sugar 400.

Dillon will first take to the track behind the wheel of the No. 96 Bass Pro Shops/Black Rifle Coffee Company Toyota Camry at 12:05 p.m. ET Wednesday during the first practice session of 2021. Following that 50-minute practice will be single-lap qualifying for the Daytona 500, where the two fastest cars will be locked into the 40-car field.

Qualifying sets the field for the Duel – twin 150-mile qualifying races that determine the starting grid for the 63rd Daytona 500. Odd-numbered qualifiers are in the first Duel and even-numbered qualifiers are in the second Duel. Collectively, 44 drivers will vie for just 40 spots.

For drivers like Dillon, earning a spot in the Daytona 500 will come one of two ways – be one of the two fastest independent teams in single-lap qualifying, or race your way into the Daytona 500 by way of the Duel. There are only four open spots in the Daytona 500 for independent teams, and there are eight drivers going for those four spots. Chartered NASCAR teams hold the other 36 positions, giving them a guaranteed starting spot for the Daytona 500 and every race on the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series schedule.

In addition to his 10 career Cup Series starts on the Daytona oval, Dillon has nine starts there in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with a pole position in the 2016 season opener and a best finish of third in the 2015 season opener. He also earned the Daytona pole in the 2015 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season opener and scored a best finish of third in that series’ season opener the previous year.

Among active Cup Series drivers with more than four career starts at Daytona and its sister Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, Dillon has the third-best average finishing position – 16.8 in his 18 career outings. He sits behind only Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s 16.4 average finish in 32 career Daytona and Talladega starts, and Denny Hamlin’s 16.5 average finish in 60 career starts.

Dillon will be performing triple duty during this year’s Speedweek. He’ll begin the week by driving the No. 23 Cup Series Toyota for the new 23XI Racing team co-owned by Hamlin and former NBA great Michael Jordan during Tuesday night’s Busch Clash. Dillon qualified for a spot in the non-points event by virtue of his stage win on the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval last fall. He’ll also compete in Saturday’s Xfinity Series race behind the wheel of the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

The No. 96 Gaunt Brothers Toyota has made six starts at Daytona since joining the Cup Series ranks as a part-time team in 2017. D.J. Kennington drove it to a best finish of 13th in the July 2018 race, and Parker Kligerman drove it to 15th in the 2019 Daytona 500. In the team’s last Daytona outing, Daniel Suárez drove the No. 96 GBR Toyota to the lead midway through the August 2020 race and led 19 laps before an accident three laps short of the finish ended his bid.

Bass Pro Shops is a longtime supporter of Dillon. North America’s premier outdoor and conservation company was with Dillon for his first career Xfinity Series win in July 2014 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and his three Truck Series victories – August 2012 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, June 2013 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, and November 2013 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

Black Rifle Coffee Company is a premium, roast-to-order, veteran-owned coffee company that gives back to veterans in every cup. Founded by Evan Hafer, a Green Beret who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Black Rifle Coffee Company has quickly established itself as a strong brand with a growing community of loyal fans thanks to its delicious coffee and commitment to supporting veterans, law enforcement and first responders. The 2021 season marks its second year as a sponsor in NASCAR.
