AUSTIN HILL QUOTE:

“While Atlanta (Motor Speedway) has always been considered my home track, I have been living outside of Charlotte (N.C.) for a few years, so it will be a great experience to finally race at the speedway. Our Young’s Motorsports guys have been working extra hard over these last few weeks, including going to the NASCAR test, to make sure we are ready to compete for the checkered flag this Friday. We are also excited to welcome Treezyn Camo aboard our team from the remainder of the season. They have a totally new and unique camo pattern that I cannot wait to try out as hunting season nears.”
