This season, the 2021 NASCAR Truck Series competition is very fierce, and Austin Hill knows he is in for a tough fight. Currently, John Hunter Nemechek is the championship leader, but Hill is right on his tail, along with Ben Rhodes, Todd Gilliland, and many more. Now that the regular season is finally over, the real battle can begin.

Speaking after the race, he said, “The competition is really good. It’s been really good every year, but this year is going to be a challenge. It is going to be tough to get into the Final 4. Hopefully, we can get the monkey off our back that we had in the past two seasons in the playoffs. Obviously that’s our ultimate goal, there are a few drivers that are going to be tough to beat.

“We think that we are one of the best teams out there right now.”
