Will Austin Hill be racing NASCAR Cup full-time with RCR in 2027?

Since the tragic passing of Kyle Busch last month, NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series regular Austin Hill was put behind the wheel of Busch's Cup car. It was renumbered, with the No. 33 replacing the No. 8 on the door, and Hill is expected to drive the car for the remainder of the 2026 season while also competing for the NASCAR O'Reilly title.

The 32-year-old has a best finish of 18th since taking over the car, but he also crashed while battling for the lead on a mid-race restart at the San Diego Street Course.
