Welcome, N.C. – Kaulig Racing announced today that Sea Best will return as a primary sponsor on its No. 10 NASCAR Cup Series entry with driver Ty Dillon.
For the second consecutive year, the 33-year-old Dillon will team with long-time Kaulig Racing driver AJ Allmendinger, who will drive the team’s No. 16 NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet.
Sea Best will make its first of eight appearances on Dillon’s car at EchoPark (Atlanta) Speedway on Feb. 22.
“I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to run full-time in the Cup Series and honored to do it with the men and women at Kaulig Racing, which means a lot to me personally,” said Dillon, who joined Kaulig Racing in 2024, driving a part-time schedule and competing full-time in 2025.
“In our first full year together at Kaulig, we showed that we can compete and have success. Now, we have a year’s experience together and a bright future ahead of us. I can’t wait to get to the 2026 season going.”
Dillon, who won the 2011 ARCA title and has won races in NASCAR’s Craftsman Truck and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, became a fan favorite in the inaugural in-season tournament last year, entering the single elimination competition as the No. 32 seed. He raced all the way into the $1,000,000-to-win final race against Ty Gibbs, only to be eliminated by a mid-race restart accident.
Australian native Andrew Dickeson will again serve as Dillon’s crew chief. Dickeson brings a wealth of engineering experience, developed while racing in Australia in the V8 Supercars Super2 Series and in the United States. Dickeson most recently worked for Richard Childress Racing until the 2025 season.
Dillon said Sea Best and his race team are a natural pairing.
“Sea Best represents the best in American family-owned business, much like we are at Kaulig Racing,” said Dillon. “Their seafood lineup offers endless options for experienced home chefs like my wife, Haley, as well as for beginners in the kitchen. I look forward to representing their brand on and off track once again, and there’s no better place to start the season with Sea Best than Atlanta.”
Sea Best proudly serves as the flagship brand of Beaver Street Fisheries, a family-owned and operated company based in Jacksonville, Florida.
As one of the nation’s largest importers, manufacturers, and distributors of seafood and meat, the Sea Best brand is synonymous with premium-quality seafood.
