Mike Dillon has had many different roles over the years in racing, but today he is the senior vice president of business operations at Richard Childress Racing. Dillon explains his responsibilities and how there is much more taking place on the RCR campus than building race cars; how the company is already looking to shift resources to other jobs when Next Gen comes around; if RCR might have an advantage with Next Gen because they’ve been working with NASCAR from the beginning; how Childress became the team to work with NASCAR on the prototype; how the atmosphere of the campus is different this year with two competitive teams; what the best thing is leadership can do during lean years; if it’s easier so many years in to separate family and business; what hat Dillon wears when watching races; a quick story from being a spotter.
