Timmy Hill estará de volta à Truck Series da NASCAR em tempo integral em 2027, pilotando o Ford número 2 da Team Reaume depois de encerrar sua própria operação parcial na categoria.
Sua primeira corrida com a equipe é neste fim de semana, no Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Hill tem sido um andarilho do automobilismo: 146 largadas na Cup desde 2012, 243 largadas na NASCAR O'Reilly desde 2011 e 132 largadas na Truck desde 2013. Ainda assim, temporadas completas foram raras: ele disputou o calendário inteiro da Truck apenas em 2022. Na terceira divisão da NASCAR, ele tem um top five e dez top tens, com melhor resultado um quinto lugar em Martinsville, em 2019.
“Estou animado para dar este próximo passo e correr em tempo integral com a Team Reaume em 2027”, disse Hill. “Eu vi o programa do Reaume crescer, e acredito que eles têm todas as ferramentas para competir com as equipes maiores semana após semana. Estou animado para trazer minha experiência de veterano e ajudar a empurrar esta equipe para frente.”
A equipe, liderada por Josh Reaume, opera os carros número 2, 22 e 33 e usou diversos pilotos ao longo de 2026.
“O Timmy e eu nos conhecemos desde 2014, quando corremos juntos pela primeira vez como companheiros de equipe”, disse Reaume. “Nos últimos anos, nossa amizade cresceu de uma forma que eu nunca esperei. Nós dois tivemos nossas próprias equipes e nos apoiamos nos mesmos desafios que vêm com ser dono neste esporte. É uma honra que a família Hill reconheça o crescimento desta equipe e confie que somos melhores trabalhando juntos, e estou orgulhoso de receber o Timmy na Team Reaume para 2027.”
