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]
