Austin Dillon was never going to forget his time in victory lane after winning the 60th edition of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, but now it's part of him in more ways than one.

Dillon commemorated the occasion late into the night by getting the Daytona 500 logo and the word "champ" tattooed to his rear end, according to ESPN's Bob Pockrass.

"You'll never be able to see it," he said Monday. "It's pretty cool-looking today. (My wife) Whitney is probably the only one that is going to see it for a while."

Members of his crew were also inked in celebration, each getting "wolfpack" tattoos.

Dillon was game, but that doesn't mean it was a walk in the park.

"It hurt," he said. "It feels OK this morning, but one of my boys smacked me on the butt when I came over here and I was like, 'Easy, guys.'"

One person who isn't sporting new ink is crew chief Justin Alexander. While Dillon said he "chickened out," Alexander argued he's waiting for the right time.

"I didn't get one," Alexander told Pockrass. "If we win a championship, I'll get a tattoo on my face."
