Those who drive race cars for Welcome’s RCR Enterprises and its organization’s owner, Richard Childress, know there’s no doubt they will do so with state-of-the-art cars, engines and support equipment. But what happens when a driver and crew chief enter a new nationally recognized sanction where they’ve never seen the tracks on which they will race, much less heard of many of them?

Enter Ty Dillon, 19, the grandson of the six-time Sprint Cup championship team owner and Scott Naset, Dillon’s crew chief who is a longtime employee with the organization. He has worked with several of Sprint Cup’s best drivers in the role as general mechanic and car chief over the past 12 years.

One could say youth and experience meshed quite well in 2011, as Dillon and Naset’s teaming produced seven wins, 16 top-fives, 19 top-10s, eight pole positions and best of all, the ARCA Series championship completing the full 19-race schedule.
