Trivia

• He is named after Austin Dillon, the NASCAR Cup Series driver who drives the #3 car for the 2021 season.
• His number, 3, is written in the same font used on Austin Dillon's car. This number/font combination is much more widely known for appearing on Dale Earnhardt's car.
• He is the only next-generation car with a logo that hasn't been redesigned after the replacement of the previous generation of race cars.
• Racing number 3 was also used by Antonio, Arturo, Fletcher and Caleb Worley. Additionally, racing number 03 was used by Turbo Towtree.
  • The Sidewall Shine racing team traditionally used the number 74 instead. However, the number 3 was chosen for Carstin as a reference to the number used by the Austin Dillon in 2021 on whom he was based.
