Kaulig Racing announced Wednesday that Ty Dillon will return to the No. 10 Chevrolet in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series, with primary sponsorship from Sea Best on board for eight races. Andrew Dickeson will return as Dillon’s crew chief.
“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,” Dillon said in a team release.

Dillon competed in five Cup Series events for Kaulig in 2024 before joining the organization full-time this past season. The 33-year-old driver placed 33rd in the final series standings, but created a highlight with his Cinderella run through the inaugural In-Season Challenge bracket. Dillon reached the final at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but was topped by Ty Gibbs for the $1 million prize.
Sea Best — a Jacksonville, Florida-based frozen seafood company — debuted as a Dillon sponsor in 2024 before backing his efforts in half the races this past season.
