Austin Dillon@austindillon3 6 pm ET @USA_Network587 6 pm ET @USA_Network https://t.co/qUFJJM53RP Austin Dillon said that he is confident about the playoffs and is happy to be in contention to win the championship. He later said that he is an underdog as people are putting him out, and that he is fine with it because it takes the pressure away from him so that he can enjoy his racing and try to upset other drivers. Dillon said: “I’m confident at the tracks in the playoffs. RCR has shown speed at every type of track with Tyler (Reddick) winning the road courses, us winning the speedway. Martinsville, I finished third but was probably the second-best car there. And we probably should have won the 600 at Charlotte; I was really close there when you got down to it.” He continued: “I’m happy to be in this spot and I think we’re the dog. Some people are already putting us out, which is just fine with me because it takes pressure off and we’ll go have fun and try to upset some of these guys, and take it as survive and advance mode from here on out.” Austin [email protected]…boom
