Bennett Transportation & Logistics will continue to serve as the anchor partner for Austin Hill and the No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2024 and beyond.

Lynette Mathis, Vice President, Bennett Family of Companies
“The celebration continues in 2024 for our 50th Anniversary as a company. We have seen the pride in the Bennett Family of Companies swell with this relationship as everyone associated with our business rallies behind Austin and his team on Saturday afternoons. Everyone can see the parallels between the great teamwork of a successful race program and how it reflects the great teamwork required to handle complex transportation and logistics, said Lynette Mathis.”
Since launching the partnership in conjunction with Hill’s rookie season at RCR in 2022, Bennett has found success both on and off the track with an increasing number of primary races on the No. 21 Camaro.
