A NASCAR team has made an exciting double announcement ahead of the official 2026 season opener at Daytona International Speedway next month.

In an official statement, Hill Motorsports has confirmed that owner/driver Timmy Hill will return behind the wheel of their No. 56 Toyota Tundra in the upcoming Truck Series season.

Not only that, but the team has also confirmed that they plan to run at a minimum of 17 events throughout the season, with potential to add further races to their schedule as the campaign progresses.
