Austin Dillon Tests Positive For COVID-19, Out For Daytona
4 years agoRichard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sunday's Go Bowling 235 at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course. Dillon was scheduled to start the race from the 10th position, but self-reported a positive test to the team on Saturday. Dillon is currently self-quarantining, and his family, including his newborn son, is healthy and symptom-free, according to a team statement. Luckily for Dillon, he won a few races ago, at Texas, to qualify for the playoffs. As seen before with Jimmie Johnson, Dillon will receive a health waiver and still be playoff-eligible. RCR's Xfinity Series driver, Kaz Grala, will be Dillon's replacement and make his Cup Series debut in the legendary No. 3 Chevrolet.
