Bennett Family of Companies, a leader in the transportation and logistics industry and a longtime partner of Richard Childress Racing and Austin Hill, will continue its partnership with RCR in 2027 as a multi-race primary partner of Hill and the No. 33 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series as the Georgia native transitions to his first full season of Cup Series competition.
The expanded partnership represents the next step in a relationship that has grown alongside Hill throughout his RCR career. Bennett has supported the devoted family man and father of three since he joined RCR in 2022, partnering with him through his development in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and his transition to NASCAR’s premier division. Bennett has been particularly supportive of Hill throughout a challenging 2026 season in which Hill has taken on a tough role for RCR during one of the most trying times in the race team’s history following the tragic passing of Kyle Busch in May.
Together, Bennett and Hill have celebrated some of the most significant accomplishments of Hill’s RCR career. Behind the wheel of the No. 21 Bennett Transportation & Logistics Chevrolet, Hill has qualified for the NASCAR post season in each of his five full seasons with RCR, won the 2023 regular-season championship, advanced to the 2024 Championship 4 and earned 16 series victories. His 11 victories on drafting-style tracks during his RCR tenure surpassed the previous record of eight held by NASCAR Hall of Famers Dale Earnhardt and Tony Stewart.
Bennett has also been part of several significant milestones in Hill’s career, including his Cup Series debut with RCR at Michigan International Speedway in 2022, when Bennett served as the primary partner on the No. 33 Chevrolet. Now, Bennett will take its partnership with Hill to the Cup Series full-time with a multi-race partnership beginning in 2027.
“Bennett is proud to continue our relationship with Richard Childress Racing and Austin Hill as he takes this next step into the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Lynette Mathis, Vice President of the Bennett Family of Companies. “When we started this journey with Austin in 2022, we didn’t just sign an RCR sponsorship — we built a lot of meaningful friendships. We’ve watched Austin grow as a driver and as a person, and we’ve been blessed to be part of that story. We’ve celebrated a lot of wins together, but what makes this partnership special is everything that happens beyond the racetrack. Our employees, drivers, agents, and customers have embraced Austin and the RCR team, and we’ve built some really strong programs around this partnership. We’re excited to take that same energy to the Cup Series and continue building something special together.”
Headquartered in McDonough, Georgia, Bennett Family of Companies provides innovative logistics and transportation services for companies across America. Bennett offers a suite of trucking and specialized logistic services, from flatbed and step deck trucking and manufactured housing transport to RV delivery, customs brokerage and warehousing. Bennett’s network provides the safest and best possible service to all their business partners. As a family-owned company, Bennett shares many of the same values that have helped define Richard Childress Racing for more than five decades. Both organizations have built their businesses through strong relationships, hard work, a commitment to their people and a desire to continually improve.
Since partnering with RCR, Bennett has utilized its racing program as an extension of its broader business strategy, creating opportunities to engage customers, employees, drivers and agents at the racetrack while supporting recruitment, retention, brand awareness and business development initiatives. Bennett and RCR have collaborated on a variety of marketing and content initiatives designed to bring fans and Bennett’s business community closer to the sport.
“Bennett Transportation & Logistics has been a great partner of Richard Childress Racing and Austin Hill from the beginning,” said Richard Childress, Chairman and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. “They believed in Austin when he first came to RCR, and they have continued to support him every step of the way. That says a lot about their family and the way they do business. They understand what it means to be part of a team, and they have done an outstanding job taking their partnership beyond the racetrack and making it meaningful for their employees, customers and partners. We’re proud to have Bennett with us as Austin moves into the Cup Series.”
For Hill, the partnership represents a continuation of a relationship that has been an important part of his career since joining RCR.
“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. “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.”
The 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season will mark Hill’s first full season competing in NASCAR’s premier division with Richard Childress Racing. Hill’s move to the Cup Series continues RCR’s long-standing tradition of developing drivers and preparing them for the sport’s highest level.
