Ty Dillon, Ferris Mowers to make Some 2023 Xfinity Starts in the RCR No. 3
WELCOME, N.C. – Ferris Mowers, a leading commercial and industrial turf care equipment provider, will sponsor Ty Dillon for multiple NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2023. Dillon, who returns to Richard Childress Racing for the first time since 2018, will drive the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro SS on a part-time schedule this season, beginning with Darlington Raceway on May 13.
Ty Dillon and Ferris have a 10-year partnership legacy that runs deep across multiple racing divisions. 2023 will be the second-consecutive year that Ferris will be on Dillon’s Cup car, joining him with the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Ferris originally partnered with Dillon in dirt late models in 2013.
“Ty is a great ambassador for the Ferris brand, and we enjoy a great relationship with him,” said Christin Wam, Senior Director of Marketing, Briggs & Stratton. “We’re excited to see what he can do this season with both Spire Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing.”
“I’m excited to be partnering with Ferris once again,” said Dillon. “Ferris has supported my career since 2013 when I drove dirt late models and I’m grateful for a continuing relationship. To carry and represent their brand 10 years later is an honor and I know we will accomplish great success on and off the track in 2023.”
In 161 career Xfinity starts from 2012-2022, Ty Dillon has one win, 34 top-fives, 92 top-10s, and a best championship result of third. Across over 200 Cup Series starts, Dillon also has seven top-10s.
The links between Ferris and racing run deep. The company’s patented lawnmower suspension system is inspired by stock car racing. Unlike any other suspension seen in outdoor power equipment, Ferris’ system is prized by lawn contractors for its comfort, traction and mowing efficiency.
Ty Dillon will make his first start with Spire Motorsports in the Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Sunday, February 5th on FOX.
