The 2026 season marks Austin Hill’s fifth year driving the No. 21 Bennett Transportation & Logistics Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Chad Haney serves as crew chief.

During Hill’s four full seasons behind the wheel of the No. 21 Chevrolet, he qualified for the NASCAR Playoffs each season, earning a Championship 4 berth in 2024. He clinched the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series regular season championship in 2023. Hill is a 14-time winner in the Series, having earned multiple wins during each of his fulltime seasons at RCR.

During his tenure at RCR, Hill has been particularly notable on drafting-style tracks. His 10 drafting track wins eclipses previous records set by NASCAR Hall of Famers Dale Earnhardt and Tony Stewart, who each had eight victories on drafting tracks.

Hill made his NASCAR Cup Series debut for Richard Childress Racing at Michigan International Speedway in 2022, earning a respectable 18th-place finish. In 15 Cup Series starts, his best finish to-date is ninth at the Chicago Street Race in 2025.

Hill spent five full seasons in the NASCAR Truck Series and captured eight wins, 27 top five finishes, 52 top 10 finishes and three pole awards, qualifying for the playoffs three consecutive seasons (2019-2021). Hill notably earned the NASCAR Truck Series regular-season championship title in 2020.

Hill competed in the ARCA Menards Series East fulltime in 2014 and 2015. In that time, he tallied one pole, four wins, 12 top-five and 21 top-10 finishes.

Outside of racing, Hill is an avid hunter and University of Georgia Bulldogs fan.

Hill is a native of Winston, Georgia. Married to Ashlyn, the couple has two daughters, Lynnlee and Kensley, and a son, Barrett.
