Okay, so the other day I got curious about how Austin Hill has been doing. You know, you hear the name, see him in races, and I just wanted to get a clearer picture of his actual performance record.
My Search Begins
First thing I did, naturally, was just pop his name into a search engine. Typed in “Austin Hill stats” or something similar. Right away, a bunch of results came flooding in. You get the usual suspects – big sports websites, the official NASCAR site, and some others that specialize purely in racing statistics.
I decided to start with what looked like the official NASCAR page first. Seemed like the most direct source, right? Found his profile pretty easily. They usually lay it out nicely – recent races, career stuff. I was looking for the basics: wins, top 5s, top 10s, maybe poles. Specifically, I was interested in his Xfinity Series numbers mostly, since that’s where he’s been making a lot of noise.
Digging a Bit Deeper
The official site gave me a good overview. But you know how it is, sometimes you want to cross-reference. So, I hopped over to a couple of major sports news sites. Think ESPN, maybe Fox Sports, those kinds of places. They often have driver profiles too.
Found his stats there as well. Sometimes the layout is different, or they might highlight different things. I noticed slight variations occasionally, maybe in how they categorize things or update timings, but generally, the core numbers lined up. It’s always good to check a couple of sources, I reckon.
- Looked for year-by-year breakdowns.
- Tried to filter specifically for Xfinity Series.
- Checked his Truck Series stats too, just for comparison.
Putting it Together
After clicking around for maybe 15-20 minutes, comparing the numbers from NASCAR’s site and a couple of the big sports portals, I started to get a solid feel for his track record. I wasn’t doing like, super deep analysis, just wanted the main figures. It was interesting seeing the progression over the years.
Finding the specifics I wanted, like his win count in Xfinity or his average start/finish positions for the current season, took a little filtering sometimes. Some sites make it easier than others. You might have to click through season archives or use specific stat filters they provide.
In the end, I just mentally noted down the key numbers I was curious about. Didn’t build a spreadsheet or anything fancy! It was just a casual look-up. Pretty straightforward process, really. Just involved checking a few reliable places and making sure the numbers seemed consistent. It satisfied my curiosity for the day, anyway.
