According to a press release from Richard Childress Racing, the Bennett Family of Companies will continue to serve as a primary sponsor of Hill as he continues to drive the No. 33 Chevrolet Camaro. Bennett will take over the stock car for multiple races.

Hill has driven the No. 33 Chevrolet since the Coca-Cola 600, the first Cup Series race after Kyle Busch passed away at the age of 41.

He has pulled double duty throughout the back half of the NASCAR season while also competing full-time in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, but he will focus solely on the Cup Series during the 2027 season.

The Georgia-based company has supported Hill throughout his Richard Childress Racing tenure, which began in 2022 and has featured five appearances in the postseason.

He has delivered multiple wins as part of this partnership, which includes four wins at Daytona International Speedway and five wins at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

This reconfigured track is located just over 10 miles to the west of Bennett's headquarters in McDonough.

The Bennett Family of Companies also supported Hill as he made his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Michigan International Speedway back in 2022.

"Bennett has been there for me since my first year at RCR, and I'm really proud that they're going to be with us as we take this next step into the Cup Series," said Hill in a press release.

"We've had a lot of success together in the No. 21, and we've built a great relationship away from the racetrack, too. I've gotten to see firsthand how much Bennett cares about their people, their customers and their business.

"I'm thankful to everyone at Bennett for believing in me and continuing to be part of this journey. I'm looking forward to putting the Bennett colors on the No. 33 and giving them plenty more to celebrate."
