Ty Dillon will compete in the NASCAR Cup for Kaulig Racing in 2025

Ty Dillon will drive in the Cup Series for Kaulig Racing in 2025, the team announced Saturday.

The team also stated that Dillon will pilot the No. 10, noting that it has released the rights to the No. 31 and acquired the No. 10 for 2025.

“We are pleased to acquire the rights to the No. 10 for the 2025 Cup Series season,” Kaulig Racing President Chris Rice said in a statement from the team. “When we decided to move to the Cup series, the number was not available, so we look forward to exposure and synergy in both series with Nos. 10 and 16.”

Dillon has made 244 Cup starts. He ran full-time in the series from 2017-23.

“I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to compete full-time in the Cup Series, and to be able to do this with the men and women at Kaulig Racing means a lot to me personally,” said Dillon. “They gave me the opportunity to prove myself in a handful of starts this year. The team and I were able to connect early and we put together some strong runs in the No. 16. I’m really looking forward to what 2025 will bring with this team. We have a bright future ahead of us and we will give our best in every race next season.”

Dillon will drive the No. 16 for Kaulig Racing this weekend in the Cup race at Kansas Speedway. It is the team’s last cup start of the season.

With Dillon taking over, Daniel Hemric will not return to Kaulig Racing after this season.

“The desire to win on Sunday will always burn in me,” Hemric wrote in a statement on social media. “I am focused and intent on finishing the last seven races of this season as strong as possible, as I continue to build on what the next chapter of this journey has in store for me.”
