No. 2 Team by the Numbers
With 29 XFINITY Series events complete in 2016, the No. 2 team has three victories, three pole awards, 16 top-five and 24 top-10 finishes, with 115 laps led to their credit. Austin Dillon is scheduled to pilot the No. 2 Chevrolet for the remaining races in 2016.

From above, Kansas Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway look very similar. How similar do they drive?

“They actually drive a lot different. Kansas is a lot smoother than Chicago. Chicago also has a lot less grip. I think Kansas will get to that point, but right now they’re a lot different. They’re both fast tracks and fun to drive, but I think they have enough differences that you approach them differently. The No. 2 team had a good run at Chicagoland, so I think we’ll have a good Chevrolet this weekend at Kansas.”
