Ty Dillon had an enjoyable Thanksgiving this year as he spent quality time with his family. The soon-to-be driver of the #10 Kaulig Racing Cup Series car shared some of the photos from the holiday with his Instagram followers while also wishing them a happy Thanksgiving.

The younger brother of five-time Cup Series race winner Austin Dillon posted multiple photos to his personal Instagram stories from the holiday. One included himself and his wife, Haley, who he's been married to since December of 2014.

The grandson of NASCAR champion owner Richard Childress also posted a photo of his grandfather alongside his young daughter, Oakley.

Dillon continued his Instagram posts by expressing his hope that his followers enjoyed their Thanksgiving as well, writing:

"Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend!"

Finally, Dillon posted a photo of himself alongside his grandmother and Richard's wife, Judy, as well as his young son, Kapton.

On the racetrack, Dillon is set to move back up to the Cup Series next season for Kaulig Racing. He most recently raced part-time for the team this year, competing in seven races and scored a best finish of 16th at the Texas Motor Speedway.

Dillon burst onto the NASCAR scene in 2012 when he drove the #3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in the Craftsman Truck Series. He won one race in his rookie campaign and finished fourth in the standings. The next year, Dillon won two more races and finished a career-best runner-up in the standings.

Dillon moved up to the Xfinity Series in 2014 and won his first career race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. However, he's failed to find a victory since then across any of the top three major series. Dillon's brother, Austin, has won some of NASCAR's most prestigious races, including the Daytona 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.

Ty Dillon became a dad for the third time earlier this year

Ty Dillon and his wife, Haley, welcomed their third child, a son named Bear, this past April. In a post to her personal Instagram, Haley shared photos of herself holding the newborn baby alongside her husband and two other children.

Haley's caption read:

"Bear Dakota Dillon, 8lbs 3oz! He made his fast entrance yesterday and we are so in love with him!! God is so good! More photos and birth story to follow but right now mama is going to get some rest! Dillon family of 5!"

Ty Dillon returns to full-time Cup Series driving in 2025 for the first time since he piloted the #77 Spire Motorsports car in 2023. Prior to that, Dillon wheeled the #42 Petty GMS Motorsports car in 2022. However, the bulk of Dillon's Cup career was spent in the #13 Germain Racing car, which he drove from 2017-2020.
