WELCOME, N.C. — Austin Hill has signed a multi-year contract extension to drive for Richard Childress Racing’s NASCAR Xfinity Series program.

The team announced the deal Thursday, a day before the series heads to Watkins Glen International Raceway in upstate New York. Hill, 29, leads the Xfinity points standings and has locked up a playoff berth in the second-tier series thanks to four wins.

“I’ve found a home at Richard Childress Racing, and it’s an honor to be able to continue my career racing for one of the most successful organizations in the garage,” Hill said in a statement. “In looking at the next step of my career, I was presented with several opportunities, but it all came down to being surrounded by racers who want to win, believe in me, and will do their best to give me every opportunity to be successful.”

Hill, from Winston, Georgia, joined RCR in 2022. He has six wins, 24 top-five finishes and 38 top-10s in two seasons with crew chief Andy Street and the No. 21 team.

“Austin Hill has set a benchmark for competitiveness within the garage and has proven to be a talented racer who wants to win,” team owner Richard Childress said. “We’re pleased that Austin has found success at RCR and are looking forward to competing for a championship in 2023, 2024, and beyond.”
