Richard Childress Racing announces Austin Hill as full-time NASCAR Cup driver for 2027

Austin Hill has been announced as the official driver of the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet in 2027. Hill stepped into the role following the tragic death of Kyle Busch, and has been driving the renumbered car (as it was the No. 8) while also competing for the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series championship.

Hill, 32, will run for NASCAR Cup points next year after signing a deal with RCR to continue driving the No. 33 Chevrolet next year.
