Dillan started racing motorcycles in 2002 and raced for two years.  In 2004 he switched to a quarter midget racecar due to problems with his knees from motocross.  After buying two cars in 2003/2004, Dillan managed to finish second in points in the Senior Honda class at Hornets Nest Speedway in Alexandria, Pennsylvania.  Dillan became track champion in 2005 in his quarter midget.  2006 found Dillan in a cyclone race car racing at several different tracks including Winchester, VA, Shippensburg, PA and Alexandria, PA. 

As young child from 2 years old to present, Dillan has been around racing.  He currently is on the pit crew of the #19 Limited Late Model of Rance Garlock. Racing came naturally for Dillan and consumes all of his time other than during basketball season.

Dillan won his first point championship in 2005 at Hornets Nest Speedway and enjoyed sharing a championship with Rance Garlock's limited late model at Hesston Speedway. 

2006 found Dillan with a new cyclone (mini-late model).  Getting 14 feature wins and 8 heat wins was a great accomplishment for his rookie year and 3rd in points after taking 3 weeks off.   

2007 found Dillan back in the cyclone winning 10 features and taking the Points Championship at Shippensburg Speedway.

2008 found Dillan back in his cyclone temporarily. He raced part of the season at Shippensburg logging 3 feature wins before hanging up cyclone racing.
