Richard Childress Racing will be expanding its line-up to three cars once again this coming weekend at the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

For five races this season, Richard Childress Racing has brought in the No. 33 Chevrolet to join the team’s full-time racers, the No. 3 driven by Austin Dillon and the No. 8 piloted by Kyle Busch.

Xfinity Series driver Austin Hill, who will be driving the No. 33 in Daytona, also took part at Texas Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway, and the Chicago Street Course. Will Brown took the wheel for his debut at Sonoma Raceway, while Ty Dillon marked a familial return at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Known for his formidable performance at Daytona in the Xfinity Series, where he secured three victories, Hill is keen on translating that success to the Cup Series.

Hill is currently running in the third position in the Xfinity Series drivers’ standings with 698 points behind Cole Custer, who is leading with 768, and Justin Allgaier, who is in second with 756 points.
