Richard Childress Racing (RCR) has officially announced that Austin Hill will compete in a part-time NASCAR Cup Series schedule this season. Hill will get behind the wheel of the No. 33 Chevrolet, marking an exciting opportunity for the rising star to showcase his talent at the sport’s highest level.
The team confirmed that Hill will participate in five Cup Series races. His schedule includes some of NASCAR’s most challenging and iconic tracks: Darlington Raceway, the Chicago Street Course, Daytona International Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, and Talladega Superspeedway. Each race presents a unique test, from the historic “Lady in Black” at Darlington to the unpredictable chaos of superspeedway racing at Daytona and Talladega.
Hill, who has already made a name for himself in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, brings a combination of skill, aggression, and consistency to the Cup garage. Since joining RCR’s Xfinity program, he has delivered impressive performances, and this move to the Cup Series signals the team’s faith in his potential. For Hill, the opportunity to race in NASCAR’s premier series with a powerhouse like RCR is a significant step in his career.
“I’m excited for the chance to drive the No. 33 Chevrolet in the Cup Series,” Hill said. “RCR has given me incredible support in the Xfinity Series, and I’m ready to take on this next challenge at some of the sport’s biggest tracks.”
RCR’s decision to give Hill a Cup Series opportunity reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to developing young talent while maintaining a competitive edge across NASCAR’s top tiers. The No. 33 car has a storied history within the organization, and Hill’s addition is expected to bring fresh energy to the team’s efforts.
Fans can expect to see Hill’s debut in the No. 33 Chevrolet at Darlington Raceway, a track known for its unforgiving nature and “Too Tough to Tame” reputation. With his aggressive driving style and determination, Hill is poised to make a statement as he takes the next step in his NASCAR journey.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Austin Hill and RCR to see how this partnership plays out on the Cup Series stage.
