The coming season could be a big one for Austin Hill
There’s no doubt that the coming season could turn out to be a big year for Hill in his career.
This is because, after impressing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2021, Austin Hill was signed by Richard Childress Racing for their Xfinity Series team. And although the driver couldn’t win the Truck Series title, he did enough to get noticed and earn the step-up to a team as iconic as RCR.
“Austin Hill has established himself as a very competitive racer within the NASCAR Truck Series and we know that he is ready for a full-time opportunity in the NASCAR Xfinity Series,” team owner Richard Childress said.
“Austin is a talented young driver and I feel confident that he will help contribute to wins at RCR.”
The 27-year-old described the opportunity to drive for Richard Childress Racing, “an honor,” and even then it is “an understatement.” “I’ve been working hard for an opportunity like this since I was a young kid.”

“I really admire RCR’s NASCAR Xfinity Series programme, and I am looking forward to having the chance to add my name to the impressive list of drivers who have won under the RCR banner,” he added.
Austin Hill will drive alongside another Truck Series driver, Sheldon Creed, who was also signed by RCR for 2022.
