Kaulig Racing confirmed that Ty Dillon will once again take the wheel of the No. 10 Chevrolet for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series, as part of a multi-race sponsorship deal with Sea Best and under the leadership of crew chief Andrew Dickeson. The announcement marks another major step for Dillon and keeps him in the spotlight of the Cup Series, reinforcing stability within the team and for his racing career.
Dillon’s Ongoing Partnership with Kaulig Racing and Sea Best
Dillon’s return to Kaulig Racing follows his participation in five Cup Series events in 2024, before signing on full-time for the recently completed season. The 33-year-old driver’s connection with Kaulig Racing has continued to grow, with Sea Best—a seafood company based in Jacksonville, Florida—extending its sponsorship for eight races throughout the upcoming 2026 season. Sea Best became one of Dillon’s main sponsors in 2024 and recently supported half of his races as primary sponsor, highlighting the importance of this ongoing partnership for both Dillon and the team.
Season Highlights and Career Milestones
Although Dillon finished 33rd in the final series standings this past season, he stood out during the innovative In-Season Challenge, delivering a dramatic performance that saw him reach the final round at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In a spirited effort, Dillon was narrowly defeated by Ty Gibbs for the $1 million grand prize, making the run a standout moment in his recent campaign.
Dillon first entered the Cup Series in 2014 and has since competed across seven full-time seasons in NASCAR’s top division. As he looks ahead to the next chapter with Kaulig Racing, Dillon approaches a significant career achievement, set to reach his 300th Cup Series start at Chicagoland Speedway on July 5. Andrew Dickeson will continue in his role as crew chief, further cementing the core personnel guiding Dillon through the upcoming season.
Looking to the Next Season
The return of Ty Dillon to Kaulig Racing’s No. 10 Chevrolet, combined with continued support from Sea Best and the seasoned hands of Andrew Dickeson, builds optimism for the team as they prepare for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series. The collaboration signals ongoing commitment from both Dillon and the organization to deliver competitive and memorable performances on the track.
“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,”
Dillon said in a team release.
With momentum from recent highlights and established partnerships, Dillon and Kaulig Racing are set for another dynamic season, aiming to build on past successes and reach new milestones in 2026.
