Spire Motorsports announced today Austin Hill will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado in the CRC Brakleen 150 at Pocono Raceway on July 22. ARCO Design/Build will serve as the primary sponsor.
Hill is a veteran of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series with 121 starts since 2014. He has amassed eight wins, 27 top-five and 54 top-10 finishes.
“I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of the No. 7 ARCO Design/Build Silverado at Pocono Raceway,” said Hill. “Last year with practice and qualifying getting rained out, we had to start in back, but the Spire Motorsports team brought a fast truck, and we were able to get a top-five finish. I’ve had success and a chance to win in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series at Pocono in the past, so I feel confident that we will have a shot to contend for the win.”
The No. 7 team is led by Kevin “Bono” Manion and Mike Greci. Hill and Greci worked together for three years at Hattori Racing Enterprises.
“Spire Motorsports is thrilled to have a driver of Austin’s caliber behind the wheel this weekend at Pocono Raceway,” said Greci. “It’s no secret that Austin and I have some history together, so I know, first hand, what kind of talent he is. His Xfinity Series results this season speak for themselves. I’m confident anytime Austin is in our truck, we’re fuly capable of running up front and winning races.”
18 races into his second full-time Xfinity season driving for Richard Childress Racing, Hill has earned three wins, 10 top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.
