RCR ace, Austin Hill, has displayed astonishing prowess with 4 victories this season, including 2 superspeedway wins under his belt. The dominance is striking, especially considering this is just his second full-time Xfinity season.

Notably, Richard Childress Racing has sealed the deal to retain this emerging star. Amidst the ongoing season, the recent signing of a multi-year contract heralds a compelling era for the dynamic duo of Hill and Childress.

Re-signing with RCR, a decision anchored in loyalty and shared values

Ahead of the Watkins Glen race, the NASCAR crowd flocked to New York. During a pre-race press conference, Hill expressed his contentment with a secured future, underlining the anticipation for forthcoming years.

During the presser, the rising star shed light on his recent decision to re-sign with Richard Childress Racing delving into the factors that solidified his choice and unveiling the depth of connection between Hill and the racing powerhouse.

“Yeah, I mean really, in the past two or three months, there’s been a lot going on outside of racing. I’ve been talking with a lot of different teams, potentially going Cup racing, this and that. and it actually came very close to going Cup racing. At the end of the day. Richard made it pretty tough on me. just because of the man he is and you know, everything that we’ve done last season and this season together.”

Hill acknowledged that the past few months had been a whirlwind of opportunities, with talks of potential shifts to various teams and even the allure of stepping into the realm of Cup racing. The decision to remain with RCR, however, was not an easy one. Hill revealed that Richard Childress, the team owner, made it a formidable contest, thanks to the shared accomplishments they’ve amassed over the seasons.

Loyalty emerged as a central theme, as Hill described himself as “very, very loyal to a fault.” Beyond the racetrack, the interview revealed a camaraderie founded on shared values and interests. “I think that Richard and I, we share the same values, we like doing the same things, and it makes it really easy to work for somebody like Richard Childress when you do the same things together. We went hunting last year, together we’re going hunting again this season in between Martinsville and Phoenix. So there’s a lot of things outside of just driving the race car that just made sense to me.”

Ultimately, Hill emphasized the ease of his decision, considering the rapport he shares with Childress and the team. The multi-year contract signified a stable and exciting future, allowing Hill to rest easy knowing the path ahead. “It’s really, really nice to see that we’re doing a multi-year deal. And I can sleep better at night, knowing what my future looks like for at least the next few years.”

With an undeniable talent and secured playoff standing in an unmatched season, the championship leader is comfortably poised in the standings. Admiration flows as Brad Keselowski‘s spotter draws parallels between the frontrunner and Cup series champ, Chase Elliott.

“Do you know who he reminds me of? He reminds me of Elliott at the Playoff races. He finds his way back to the front, like nothing.”

In a recent episode of Door Bumper Clear, seasoned spotter TJ Majors lauded the rising Xfinity star for his remarkable skills. Comparing him to Elliott during Playoff races, Majors praised the young prodigy’s knack for regaining the lead and assertively leading. Majors commended the racer’s calculated moves, highlighting his understanding of the optimal moment to seize control and increase his odds of victory.

“And then he gets there and once he gets there he knows da*n well he is gonna lead, the race just got harder for you to win if he goes to the front. I would ask Austin how did you get to the lead because you helped all your friends get there because you know what moves to make and you know that if you could have the best chance at winning the race and control it when you get there your, odds go way up. So I think I look at Austin the same way,” Majors added.
