Austin Hill dominates Xfinity Series playoff race, wins at Homestead-Miami

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — An emotional Austin Hill climbed out of his No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet on the Homestead-Miami Speedway frontstretch to celebrate one of the most significant race wins of his burgeoning career — claiming the Credit One NASCAR Amex Credit Card 300 trophy Saturday and securing one of four positions to race for a trophy in the Nov. 9 series championship finale.

Hill — who also swept both of the race‘s stage wins — took the lead from Stewart-Haas Racing‘s Cole Custer with 12 laps remaining Saturday evening at the 1.5-mile South Florida track and raced off to a healthy 3.045-second win over the fellow playoff driver and reigning series champion Custer.

It was the fourth win of the season for Hill and 10th of this career. But importantly, it is the first time the 30-year-old Georgia native will have a chance to race for the championship trophy after multi-win seasons the last three years.

“I worked so hard for this, a lot of people doubt me but I wake up every day to prove them wrong,” Hill said. “I deserve to be here and I deserve to race for a championship. This 21 team deserves it just as much as I do. They work their [butts] off each and every day just like I do. I‘ve got to give it up to those guys. They gave me a hell of a car.

“I can honestly say I‘ve never cried coming to the start-finish line, but I had to get my emotions together going into Turn 1 after the checkered, all the hard work and dedication that goes into this. I don‘t think everyone‘s going to understand what this means for me, for my family and for [sponsor] Bennett. … I had to be on it today.

Pausing to take it in, he added, “This is amazing. To be able to go the Final Four. I‘ve worked so hard at this and my dreams came true.”

With his win and AJ Allmendinger‘s victory last week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, now only two positions remain for the title chase with one more race remaining — at the Martinsville Speedway half-miler next week — to establish the championship foursome.

JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier — who only had three previous top-10 finishes at Homestead — took the checkered flag in eighth place which was good enough to keep the driver of the No. 7 JRM Chevrolet with the points lead in third place should he need that to advance to the championship race.

Custer, whose No. 00 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford led 67 of the 200 laps, is now the last driver above the elimination line with a 28-point advantage over Saturday‘s race polesitter Chandler Smith. The No. 81 Joe Gibbs Racing driver finished 13th and as with the bottom four ranked drivers is essentially in a must-win situation next weekend.

Hill‘s rookie teammate Jesse Love ran up front much of the day and finished fourth. He‘s now sixth in the points standings — 35 points below Custer.

“It just shows you how good you have to be to get in the Championship 4,” Love said, noting of the Phoenix finale, “I feel like if we could get there we have a shot to win.”

JR Motorsports teammates Sam Mayer and Sammy Smith finished ninth and 22nd, respectively and find themselves in a similar must-win situation to Chandler Smith and Love next week at Martinsville.

JGR‘s Aric Almirola finished third Saturday behind the playoff drivers, with Love and JGR‘s Sheldon Creed rounding out the top five. Custer‘s SHR teammate Riley Herbst, RSS Racing‘s Ryan Sieg, Allgaier, Mayer and last week‘s race winner Allmendinger completed the top 10.

Of note, 18-year-old William Sawalich finished 24th in his much-anticipated Xfinity Series debut.

The Xfinity Series moves to the Martinsville Speedway half-miler next week for Saturday‘s National Debt Relief 250 (3:30 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Allgaier is the defending Martinsville fall race winner and Almirola won at the Virginia short track earlier this year in the spring.

NOTE: Post-race inspection in the Xfinity Series garage concluded without issue, confirming Hill as the Homestead winner. The Nos. 1, 21 and 39 each had one unsecured lug nut, which will result in monetary fines.
