Mike Dillon raced stock cars professionally in NASCAR Xfinity between 1995 and 2001, competing for Richard Childress Racing. He made 154 starts over seven seasons, primarily on oval tracks; he remains associated with Childress Racing as General Manager since his retirement.[1]

Dillon spent his career as a full-season regular in a national championship that mixed amateurs with established professionals. He ran most often against Jason Keller, a professional with over 500 Xfinity starts, and was closely matched with him. His results against Mike McLaughlin, another regular professional opponent, typically fell short. Among the strongest drivers he encountered were Tony Stewart, an IndyCar champion who also competed in Xfinity, and Kevin Harvick, who went on to win the Xfinity title twice; Dillon finished ahead of Stewart in their meetings and crossed the line ahead of Harvick on several occasions across their limited head-to-head racing.[2]

Dillon's primary team was Parker Racing, which fielded him for 82 of his starts. That operation won five races across the indexed record and fielded eight drivers overall, with the strongest being professional L.D. Ottinger.
