Austin Dillon is more than just a familiar face in NASCAR’s premier series; he is a racer shaped by heritage, hard work, and family devotion. Born April 27, 1990, Austin is the grandson of Richard Childress, one of NASCAR’s most iconic team owners. From his start in Bandolero and Legend cars to his rise through the ARCA and Truck Series, Austin’s career reflects both natural talent and family support.

These have helped him overcome challenges to win the 2018 Daytona 500 and, most recently Cook Out 400 at Richmond to secure a playoff spot. But behind the helmet, his parents, Tina and Mike Dillon, have been key figures grounding him with unwavering support and dedication. As ideal parents, they are shaping the man behind the wheel and the competitive spirit that fuels his success.
