About this paint

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Averaging a 21st place finish entering Sunday’s STP 500 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Austin Dillon aided the Richard Childress Racing resurrection earning his second straight spring top-five finish at the historic paperclip. Unlike last year’s race where late-race attrition and aggression aided Dillon in one of his four top-10 finishes last season, a good car propelled Dillon from a mid-pack starting spot and recovering from a Lap 290 spin that collected six cars. Making his last pit stop 106 laps from the finish, Dillon launched forward on the restart and found himself in the clutches of leaders Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch. But following the race’s final caution on Lap 436, Dillon found himself not only trying to steal the thunder from the leaders, but also protect his podium position – which he eventually lost when Chase Elliott and Joey Logano overtook his No. 3 Okuma Chevrolet late in the race. Finishing fifth, Dillon scored his first top-five since a fourth-place run at Bristol Motor Speedway in August 2016 and jumping two spots in the point standings to 18th after six races. “Yeah, it’s really big for our team and for everybody at DOW and Okuma,” said Dillon. “Our pit crew did a really good job today. We had a fast car on restarts and could really take off. The middle of the run was shaky for us but that last run we held on, which was really nice. That’s why I was worried about on older tires, there; but it worked out for us.”
