Ty Dillon reflects on growing up with brother Austin Dillon

Ty Dillon recently reflected on growing up in a world of racing alongside his brother, Austin Dillon. The Cup Series driver revealed that their family made sure racing wasn't the only focus of their childhood.

Their father, Mile Dillon, is the current general manager for RCR with an extensive background in racing in NASCAR. As such, the two brothers were no strangers to the sport. Reflecting upon the same, Ty Dillon revealed whether he always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps.

“No, I wanted to play football. I grew up around racing, I grew up in the race shops, my brother & I played hide-and-go-seek at four, five years old inside of Dale Earnhardt's race cars & didn't know anything different. But it was never really pushed on us from my grandfather, my dad, or my mom. They wanted us to experience anything else,” he said via BIGPLAY Cleveland Show [0:13 onwards]

He continued about his aspirations to become an NFL star.

"I thought I was going to be a linebacker or a fullback in the NFL, that was my goal at probably 12-13 to 15-16 [years-of-age]. Turns out everybody outgrew me and I needed to get into something where size didn’t really matter too much. ” he added. [0:50 onwards]

Ty Dillon currently ranks 29th in the Driver standings, three spots below his brother Austin, who scored his best result yet with a tenth-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway.
