UV forerunners Solution on page 2 CoverStory By George Dickie Austin Dillon will be the first to tell you that winning last year's Dayto- na 500 was the highlight of his season, if not his career. The trouble is, the 28-year-old North Caro- lina native and driver of the No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing couldn't maintain that level of success into the rest of the 2018 Monster Energy Cup season, ring - ing up only seven more top-10 finishes, one more top-five and no wins in the ensuing 35 races. Winning at Daytona got him to the postseason but he wasn't much of a factor there, getting elim - inated in the Round of 16 to finish 13th in the final Cup standings. Now Dillon is rested, relaxed and smarter for his struggles as he and 39 other series drivers gear up for the 2019 Day- tona 500, the Cup Series season-opener that airs from Daytona Interna- tional Speedway Sunday, Feb. 17, on Fox. "It's a long race and you know guys are coming off of the winter break," explains Dillon, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, "everybody's pumped up to go out there and com- pete hard. So people are being aggressive early on and you've got to be smart. "It's a chess match," he continues. "It's really like playing chess at 200 miles per hour. Daytona is one of those places that sometimes things can go outside of your control and you'll be caught up in something that you weren't really a part of. And you just have to have a little bit of luck but also put yourself in a smart position."
