Racing career
K&N Pro Series East
After driving sporadically in 2012, Hill captured a win in 2013 despite only running five races that season.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] After switching his focus to the Camping World Truck Series in 2016, he only ran one race in the series, finishing ninth.[4]
K&N Pro Series West
Hill's only race in the K&N Pro Series West was at Phoenix International Raceway in 2014, where he started fifth but fell back ten positions as the race went on.[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]
Camping World 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]
