RCR NCS Race Recap: Kansas Speedway

Austin Dillon and the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/Winchester Magnum Pheasant Chevrolet Team Stay Persistent to Earn 21st-Place Finish at Kansas Speedway

Finish: 21st
Start: 19th
Points: 24th

“Proud of everyone on the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/Winchester Magnum Pheasant Chevrolet team today at Kansas Speedway for fighting until the last lap. We didn’t have practice and qualifying yesterday, so we knew we were going to learn a bit about the car’s balance in the initial laps. We started off a touch loose, but overall good, and then made an adjustment that made our Chevy way too tight. The team went back to the drawing board and were able to reverse that and get it to where the car’s balance was pretty good. We were making top-10 lap times and I was driving forward. We’ll make some notes for 2027 and turn our focus to Las Vegas next week.” -Austin Dillon

Austin Hill and the No. 33 Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet Team Show Long Run Speed at Kansas Speedway

Finish: 26th
Start: 32nd
Points: 31st

“Our Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen Chevrolet had speed on the long run, but we struggled on fire off. For the first 15-20 laps, our car was really tight and it would take too long to come in. At the same time, we were at the limit of the rears at the end of a run. If we could have found a way to not lose so much ground at the beginning, I think we could have had a solid finish because most runs, we would drive back forward at the end. We’ll learn from today and try to come back better next season.” -Austin Hill
