Are Austin and Ty Dillon related?

He is the younger brother of fellow NASCAR driver Austin Dillon, who drives RCR’s No. 3 Cup Series car full-time. His father is RCR general manager Mike Dillon, who is a retired NASCAR driver.

They are always linked together in virtually every media piece about Richard Childress Racing’s future. They’re “the Dillon brothers,” the team’s owner Richard Childress’s grandsons. Despite the fact that they are brothers, they are not twins. Austin Dillon has earned the right to race in the Sprint Cup series.

He’s shown remarkable maturity for his age, especially when it came to shouldering the responsibility of bringing NASCAR’s most famous number back to the track.

Meanwhile, Ty Dillon won seven times in his first full season in the series in 2011, en route to winning the series championship.
