NASCAR Xfinity Series standout Austin Hill will run a handful of NASCAR Cup Series races this year.

Hill is an accomplished NASCAR Xfinity Series driver with eight victories over the last three seasons. He finished a career-best fifth in the championship standings in 2023, narrowly missing the Championship 4. Previously, he competed in the Truck Series, where he also won eight races. A member of RCR's NXS program since 2022, Hill does have six previous starts in the Cup Series. He made his debut at Michigan in 2022, driving for RCR.

It will be the first time RCR has entered a third Cup car since last summer's race at the Indy RC, where Supercars champ Brodie Kostecki drove the No. 33. “United Rentals has supported me throughout all of the key moments of my racing career so far, which makes their involvement in my upcoming NASCAR Cup Series starts for Richard Childress Racing that much more special,” said Hill in a release from the team. “I’m happy to have another opportunity to race in the Cup Series for RCR.
