Ty Dillon, who returned to full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2025 with Kaulig Racing, has lamented what "robbed us of a lot of finishing positions and points over the last two weeks."
After a disappointing Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, which he finished 23rd in, Dillon has urged the Kaulig Racing team to "get that cleaned up" as he ran out of gas while running in seventh. He explained to the media after the race:
"We were having a pretty smooth day with our No. 10 Sea Best Chevy and our car was fast. We did our job on pit road pretty much and on the track, we put ourselves in position and where we needed to be at the end.
"We were running in seventh and ran out of the gas. We've got to get that cleaned up. Running out of gas has robbed us of a lot of finishing positions and points over the last two weeks.

It's nice to see the hard work paying off when we show up at the track. We'll keep grinding and the finishes we deserve will come."
Dillon's teammate AJ Allmendinger started the race in 19th and went on to finish in 24th, despite reaching 7th by the end of Stage 1. He also commented following the race:
"Overall, our day was going well. We were racing our own race there of hanging back and going at the end of the stages. That worked out for the first stage, almost worked out for the second stage, and I thought we were in a decent position in the third stage.
"We ended up with a combination of bad luck and not a great last stop at the end, just having to go around the No. 1 car and everything that happened there. That cost us there at the end and that's disappointing."
