Austin Dillon opens up about his win-and-in mindset heading into Daytona, where we won last year to make the playoffs.
The 2018 Daytona 500 champion will need a repeat Saturday night if he wants to make the 2023 playoffs. He sits 29th in the standings; he'd be 23rd if not for a 60-point penalty for a technical infraction earlier this year.
I'd say our season has just been up and down and frustrating at times. Obviously, we headed in the right direction at the beginning of the year, got the big points penalty and haven't been able to fight our way out of it. We had some DNFs this year that we usually don't have on the 3 team, wrecking out at some places that we were running well at. So yeah, it's been a tough year. We found some rhythm here as of late and just trying to progress on that.
Looking back to a year ago, what was the feeling when you took that checkered flag at Daytona to make the playoffs?
