Ty Dillon sat with his wife, Haley Dillon, to speak about resilience in NASCAR, a virtue the Kaulig Racing driver has been following for a long time.

During their conversation, the Kaulig driver mentioned how his never-give-up attitude and 'unbeatable resilience' took him places. He said (1:04:50 onwards):

"Going through kind of the ups and downs and different teams and all the stuff is like, I have been treated every way. I think I could possibly be treated good or bad and you know lied to and faked out to where now it's just like, okay cool, you can beat me up. But you're never you're never going to get me knock me down like you're never going to knock me out.

"So I've just developed a mindset of like winners are the quitters or the losers who never quit. So you will not get me to quit whether It's driving in the race car. There's never going to be a day where I wake up and I give up and I've learned because so many opportunities have come to me from never giving up."
