Ty Dillon making highly anticipated Cup debut

Ty Dillon, who replaced his brother Austin in the #3 Nationwide Series car owned by grandfather Richard Childress, will be making his first start in the Sprint Cup Series on Sunday evening at Atlanta. Dillon will start 29th in the 43-car field in the #33 Chevrolet co-owned by Childress and Joe Falk. Fans have mixed expectations for the younger Dillon in NASCAR's top series. Austin Dillon took over the former #29 car of Kevin Harvick, which Childress turned back to the #3 car that Dale Earnhardt made famous, and he is running for the Rookie of the Year award in the series. Meanwhile, Ty Dillon is a Nationwide rookie and has won one race in the series.
