Austin Edward Hill (born April 21, 1994) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 16 Toyota Tundra and part time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 61 Toyota Supra for Hattori Racing Enterprises.

Racing career

Starting racing when he was six, Hill climbed the ladder racing various disciplines such as Legend cars and Bandolero racing.[1]

K&N Pro Series East

After driving sporadically in 2012, Hill captured a win in 2013 despite only running five races that season.[2] His first full season in the series (2014) started off slow but ended well, winning the final two races to finish fifth in the points.[3] Hill continued his career in the K&N Pro Series East with a strong 2015 season. Driving for a family-owned team, he captured a pole, two wins and failed to finish only once in a season that left him third in points.[4] After switching his focus to the Camping World Truck Series in 2016, he only ran one race in the series, finishing ninth.[5]

ARCA Racing Series

Hill debuted in ARCA racing at the 2015 season opener, avoiding wrecks to finish just outside the top ten at Daytona International Speedway.[6]

Gander Outdoors Truck Series

Hill debuted in 2014 with RBR Enterprises, with finishes of 26th at Martinsville Speedway and 20th at Homestead-Miami Speedway during that season.[7] Hill landed a part-time ride with Empire Racing in the 2014 season, crashing at Daytona International Speedway and recording a best finish of 16th (at Dover International Speedway) in three other starts that year.[8] For the start of 2016, Hill announced that he would again run the Daytona race with Empire, and then switching to his family-owned Austin Hill Racing for a part-time schedule.[9] He failed to qualify for Daytona and four other races early in the season, and had a best finish of 15th through the twelfth race of the year.[10] Picking up his schedule after that and running some races in an entry bought out from Young's Motorsports, Hill started to experience more consistent success, leading up to his first top-ten, a tenth place at Martinsville Speedway.[11]

On January 8, 2019, it was announced that Hill joined Hattori Racing Enterprises' No. 16 Toyota Tundra full-time for the upcoming season.[12] Hill scored his record first win at the season-opening Daytona race.[13] At Pocono in July, Hill set a new track record for the Truck Series on his way to the pole.[14]

On November 5, 2019, HRE announced that Hill would remain in the No. 16 for the 2020 Truck Series season.[15]

Xfinity Series

On June 16, 2019, it was announced that Hill would make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut at the Circle K Firecracker 250 at Daytona for Hattori Racing Enterprises, driving the No. 61 Toyota Supra.[16][17] However, he missed the race after his car suffered drive line issues that prevented him from setting a qualifying time.[18] Later debuting at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Hill used the high groove to his advantage on his way to scoring a ninth-place finish in his series debut.[19]

Personal life

Hill attended West Georgia Technical College.

Austin and Ashlyn were married on May 24, 2014. The couple has one daughter.
