NASCAR: Austin Hill to drive No. 33 RCR Cup car at Nashville
Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill will continue to pilot the Cup Series team’s No. 33 entry this weekend at Nashville, per the official NASCAR entry list ahead of the race weekend.
Hill was named the replacement for Kyle Busch when initial news broke he would miss the Coca-Cola 600 because of “severe illness.”
When the news broke of Busch’s sudden passing, Hill remained in the driver’s seat for Charlotte, and RCR announced the No. 8 team would be renumbered to the No. 33.
Hill finished the Coca-Cola 600 27th, one lap down Sunday night in the No. 33.
