Jan 30: Castle^® and Andy Santerre Motorsports (ASM) are teaming up for a 7^th consecutive year, continuing the tradition of racing excellence. This season, ASM will be affiliated with Austin Dillon, a development driver for Richard Childress Racing (RCR). Just as exciting as the promise of a career in the making is the fact that Dillon will be driving a #3 car for his grandfather's team - the first time that number has been used since it was used by Dale Earnhardt. It's no coincidence that together, Richard Childress and Dale Earnhardt established RCR in the mid 1980s and helped it become a dominant Sprint Cup team for more than a decade.
