Dillon and Stockman have a successful history together, winning the Camping World Truck Series championship in 2011 and the Xfinity Series title in 2013.

Stockman also served as Dillon’s crew chief for the 2018 Monster Energy Series Playoffs opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after Alexander chose to sit out the race due to personal reasons.
