Austin Hill, driving the No. 21 car for the RCRRacing team, clinched a victory at the NASCAR Xfinity Series RAPTOR King of Tough 250 in Atlanta, marking his second consecutive win in the 2024 season. The race was characterized by a dramatic finish with several cars, including Jesse Love who had led for 157 of 169 laps, running out of fuel in overtime. Hill, who managed his fuel efficiently, took the lead and secured the win, followed by Chandler Smith and Shane Van Gisbergen. The race results were confirmed after a post-race inspection, which found no major issues except for a minor infraction involving one car's lug nut.
