Ty Dillon, Alex Bowman have words on pit road after last-lap pass wins NASCAR bracket matchup

Dillon has had an amazing run in the tournament. He is the No. 32 seed and defeated No. 1-seed Denny Hamlin, No. 17-seed Brad Keselowski and Bowman, who was a No. 8 seed. Winning the tournament would be a huge boost for Dillon, who has yet to win a race in his Cup Series career.

Ty Dillon loves trolling drivers after winning in-season backet matchups

The run Dillon is on has been getting a lot of attention for another reason. Along with defeating the top drivers in NASCAR, the 33-year-old has trolled Hamlin and Keselowski after winning. This led to NASCAR legend and Fox Sports analyst Kevin Harvick calling Dillon out.

“The bracket, there’s a little bit of luck involved in, no matter what racetracks we go to, but starting at Atlanta just turned it all upside down,” Harvick said on Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour last week. “I mean, Ty Dillon is still in it.”

Harvick then shared his reaction to Dillon trolling Keselowski. “I just don’t know how you talk that much trash when you run that bad, though,” Harvick stated. “I would just be more humble about it. I mean, if you were up there running first or second, third, fifth, something, and you’re knocking people out of the bracket, but you’re knocking the guys out that are crashing. Let’s not be cocky about it.”

This year, Dillon has earned one top-10 finish, which was eighth place at Atlanta. He returned to full-time Cup Series racing this year after being part-time in 2024. In 249 Cup Series races, Dillon has finished in the top 10 seven times.
