Last Weekend at New Jersey… Marking his first start of the season in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East competition, Hill joined forces with Martin-McClure Motorsports to compete in the inaugural JUSTDRIVE.com 125 at New Jersey Motorsports Park. Hill started from the 4th position in the No. 39 ARCO machine, and unfortunately while running 3rd, right before the halfway break pit stop, lost second and third gear in his transmission. The Winston, G.A. native was able to limp his car through the remaining laps, coming home 9th.

AUSTIN HILL QUOTE:

“I am really looking forward to getting to New Hampshire (Motor Speedway) this weekend and hitting the track in my Young’s Motorsports No. 02 Ford F-150. Anytime you get the chance to race on a track you’ve had previous experience at, its a plus and I believe we have a solid truck that we are brining this weekend. My crew has been hard at work getting this new chassis ready and we’re expecting a solid finish this weekend in the UNOH 175.”
