AdvoCare to Bayne in '14; Dillon to Cup Full-Time Says Release

The cat, as they say, is out of the bag regarding what Austin Dillon's plans for 2014 are.

Well, if you believe a release from a rival team as proof, anyway.

The release stated: "AdvoCare, a premier health and wellness company, announced it will team with Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne to serve as the full-time partner on the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing (RFR) Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS)  in 2014. The No. 6 team, led by award-winning crew chief Mike Kelley, is currently competing for its third consecutive NNS title.

"AdvoCare served as the sponsor on the No. 3 car for Dillon the past two seasons. With Dillon making the move to full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing in 2014, the organization began the process of diligently seeking out its best option moving forward.

“AdvoCare values Austin and his team and are so grateful for the relationship we’ve built over the past few years,” said Wright. “We are proud of the success we’ve had together and are looking forward to Austin and the No. 3 team running for the 2013 NNS Championship.”

While nothing has been announced as yet, there is speculation that Dillon, team owner Richard Childress' grandson, will either take over the No. 29 being vacated at season's end by Kevin Harvick, or debut a new team with the No. 3.

The team's other drivers, Paul Menard and Jeff Burton, are under contract for next season.
