Driver

Austin Hill is in his fifth season as driver of the No. 21 Chevrolet in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Since joining Richard Childress Racing in 2022, Hill has captured 14 victories, including three consecutive wins in the season-opening race at the prestigious Daytona International Speedway – a feat putting the wheelman in history books with some of the sport’s Hall of Famers – and RCR’s 100th O’Reilly Auto Parts Series win at Martinsville Speedway. With a dominant resume at drafting tracks, Hill holds the all-time series record in number of victories and laps led and is the only driver in series history to win at all three drafting tracks. Hill claimed Rookie of the Year honors in 2022 and the Xfinity Series regular season championship in 2023. On the heels of his third consecutive season with four victories, Hill once again earned a Playoffs berth and raced for an owner’s championship in 2025. The Georgia native spent five seasons competing in the NASCAR Truck Series, posting eight victories and taking the regular season championship in 2020. Away from the track, Hill enjoys hunting, golfing, and spending time outdoors with his wife, Ashlyn, and three children, Lynnlee, Kensley, and Barrett.

Crew Chief

Chad Haney is the crew chief of the No. 21 Chevrolet team in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, working alongside Austin Hill for the second consecutive season. During his first season on top of the box, Haney earned four wins with Hill – including the 100th victory for Richard Childress Racing's O'Reilly Auto Parts Series program in spectacular fashion at Martinsville Speedway. Previously, Haney served as the head mechanic for RCR’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series program where he managed the build and development of the storied organization's cars to ensure parity among RCR and their alliance partners. With more than 30 years of motorsports experience, the veteran racer has earned victories as a car chief and mechanic at the highest levels, including the Daytona 500 with driver Kurt Busch and the Coca-Cola 600 with driver Kevin Harvick. Haney was also a part of the team that returned the famous No. 3 to the Cup Series in 2014 with driver Austin Dillon. A racer himself, Haney spent several years honing his skills as a dirt late model racer before giving up the steering wheel for a wrench.
