NASCAR will hit the Charlotte Motor Speedway for the opener of the second half of the 2022 regular season with the 14th round cup race, the iconic Coco-Cola 600 the longest race in the Cup schedule coming a total of 600 miles distance earning it the nickname the ‘Crown Jewell’ of NASCAR. With the number of races and playoff spots left getting shorter by the week the drivers and teams will be going all out to secure their wins in the coming races.
The 2022 season so far has been a roller-coaster ride for the No. 42 Petty GMS Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driver Ty Dillon. The 30 years old who is yet to secure a cup win in his 9 years in the cup had a consistent start to the season finishing inside the top 20 in 5 out of the first 6 rounds of racing. But things then started to be a bit inconsistent as finished outside the Top 20 four out of five times amongst his best finish of 2022 coming at Bristol at P10.
Ty Dillon was able to get the momentum back with him after securing back-to-back top 20 finishes in the last to Cup races at Darlington and Kansas and has now come forth expressing his thoughts on how he expects the 600 mils race to playout while he hopes to keep up the momentum.

I’m always pushing to that point, but from a full perspective, we have had a solid start to our year and accomplished a lot of the expectations that we’ve had a week in and week out in general.
