Winchester® to Be Featured on Iconic No. 3 Car in 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Season

EAST ALTON, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Winchester, The American Legend, will be featured on the No. 3 Chevrolet driven by Austin Dillon as a part of the Richard Childress Racing team during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Winchester is teamed with Bass Pro Shops and other key sponsors of the No. 3 Chevrolet, one of the most iconic cars in NASCAR history, which carries a storied legacy from its days with the late Dale Earnhardt. Austin Dillon has continued to honor that tradition, bringing new energy and excitement to the revered number.

“For 159 years, Winchester has been a leader in the shooting sports, hunting and conservation,” said Brett Flaugher, President of Winchester Ammunition. “Millions of NASCAR fans are passionate about the outdoors, and we’re excited to connect with them by showcasing our support of NASCAR, conservation, and the outdoor heritage.”

Dillon is one of the most exciting stars in the NASCAR Cup Series, with wins in the 2017 Coca-Cola 600 and the 2018 Daytona 500. He won Rookie of the Year honors in the Truck Series and Xfinity Series and later won the season championship on both circuits.

Dillon is a five-time winner in the Cup Series who has qualified for the NASCAR playoffs five times. Fans can catch Austin Dillon and the Bass Pro Shops/Winchester No. 3 Chevrolet on track when the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series kicks off at the iconic Daytona International Speedway in February.

Winchester will be on the No. 3 car for 17 NASCAR Cup Series races in 2025 starting with The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, North Carolina on February 2, 2025. This is the first NASCAR Cup Series race held at Bowman Gray Stadium since 1971.
