Kaulig Racing has confirmed that Sea Best will return as the primary sponsor of their No. 10 entry in the NASCAR Cup Series for the 2026 season, with Ty Dillon behind the wheel. This Kaulig Racing NASCAR partnership 2026 will see Dillon and long-time driver AJ Allmendinger continue to represent the team across a full calendar of races.
Ty Dillon Returns for Another Full Season with Kaulig Racing
In 2026, Ty Dillon, who initially joined the roster in 2024 and will embark on his first full-time campaign with Kaulig in 2025, is set to pair with AJ Allmendinger, Kaulig’s experienced No. 16 Chevrolet driver. Dillon, at age 33, has already established a solid fan base, particularly after his compelling run as the No. 32 seed in the previous season’s in-season tournament, making it to the final round before an accident forced him out.
Dillon’s collaboration with Kaulig Racing is steeped in mutual respect and ambition.
“I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to run full-time in the Cup Series and honored to do it with the men and women at Kaulig Racing, which means a lot to me personally,”
said Dillon, expressing his excitement about the continued partnership. He added,
“In our first full year together at Kaulig, we showed that we can compete and have success. Now, we have a year’s experience together and a bright future ahead of us. I can’t wait to get to the 2026 season going.”
