An Interview with:

Q. Austin Hill moves up from the Truck Series this year, full-time Xfinity for the first time in your career, Austin, second start at Daytona. It ends in the best way possible. You're a Daytona winner.

AUSTIN HILL: Yeah, me and Derek Kneeland worked really well, my spotter. I was learning all night. I kept telling him, I'm just putting that in the bank, I'm putting that in the bank, I'm putting that in the memory bank to remember for late in the race.

We timed it perfectly. Obviously that caution came out but we had a heck of a run, so who knows what would have happened there.

I was able to drag back, 98 gave me a heck of a push, we were able to get by him, and this is so crazy. I won it back in 2019 with a new team, now we're with RCR, first race with them. We were able to get the job done. Our Bennett United Rentals Chevrolet was just as fast as Xfinity internet.

Man, I'm speechless. Andy Street, Richard Childress, just all these guys back at RCR for believing in me. It's been a fun off-season, and now we get to go race for a championship.
