Racing career

Starting to race at the age of five, Hill did so racing go-karts. He later moved up to bandolero racing and the Allison Legacy Series, in which he claimed the 2011 national championship.[2] Hill tested an ARCA Racing Series car for MBM Motorsports in January 2017[3] but did not debut in the series until August 2018, driving for Fast Track Racing at Berlin Raceway.[4] He wound up running four races for FTR in 2018, culminating in a seventh-place in the season finale at Kansas Speedway, Hill's first top-ten in ARCA competition.[5] In the race, Hill spun on lap two but advanced throughout the race due to a large amount of attrition in the race.[6]

In November 2018, Hill made his NASCAR debut in the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 13 for MBM Motorsports at ISM Raceway.[7] Hill spun during the later stages of the event and finished 15 laps in arrears to the leader.[8]

Hill returned to MBM for the 2019 iK9 Service Dog 200, also at ISM, driving the team's No. 66 entry.[9] Later in the year, older brother Timmy formed Hill Motorsports to compete in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, with him sharing the No. 56 with Tyler; the number was used by their father Jerry during his career.[10] He debuted at Dover International Speedway in the spring.[11] A spin in qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in September resulted in Hill's first series DNQ.[12]

Personal life

Hill graduated from North Point High School in 2012.[13]
