Austin Hill and Richard Childress Racing have announced that they have reached a multi-year contract extension that will keep Hill behind the wheel of the No. 21 RCR Racing Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024.

The announcement was formally made on Thursday night’s NASCAR RaceHub on FS1, and following the announcement on RaceHub, RCR Tweeted out a hype video on Twitter.

The rumor mill had been churning, and Hill had been a name linked to some openings for a full-time spot in the NASCAR Cup Series. Hill says at the end of the day, he feels at home with Richard Childress Racing.

“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,” said Hill. “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.
