Austin Hill secured his first victory of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season at the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, leading 146 of 163 laps in his No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.

The Georgia native claimed his fourth win in six Atlanta races, marking his third consecutive victory at his home track. Hill's triumph came after a dramatic final restart with three laps remaining, where he briefly lost the lead before regaining it on the last lap with help from Parker Retzlaff's push.

Hill finished 0.216 seconds ahead of Justin Allgaier and Aric Almirola. The victory ties Kevin Harvick's record of five Xfinity Series wins at Atlanta and matches Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart's record of eight wins at drafting tracks.

Notable achievements from the race include:

• Hill swept both stage wins, maintaining a perfect stage-winning record in 2025
• RCR teammate Jesse Love won the pole position
• This marks RCR's 99th Xfinity Series victory
• Hill and Love dominated, leading all but four laps

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.
