Austin Hill showcased his dominance at Atlanta Motor Speedway, securing his fourth victory in six races at his home track. Leading 146 of 163 laps in the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250, Hill claimed his first win of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season in the No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.

Despite his commanding performance, Hill had to fight for the win in the final laps. After briefly losing the lead on a restart with three to go, he reclaimed first place on the last lap thanks to a strategic push from Parker Retzlaff. Hill held off Justin Allgaier and Aric Almirola to win by 0.216 seconds.
The victory marks several milestones:
- Ties Kevin Harvick's record of five Xfinity Series wins at Atlanta
- Equals Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart's record of eight wins at drafting tracks
- Represents RCR's 99th Xfinity Series victory
Hill swept both stages for the second consecutive race in 2025, while RCR teammate Jesse Love secured the pole position. Together, they led all but four laps of the race.
Top 5 Finishers:
- Austin Hill

The win puts Hill one point ahead of Sheldon Creed in the championship standings. The series continues next Saturday at Circuit of The Americas for the Focused Health 250.
