LAPS LED: 245

WHAT WENT RIGHT: Hill finished no worse than eighth in the first six races, winning two. Hill’s win at Daytona marked the third consecutive year he’s started the Xfinity season with a victory.

WHAT WENT WRONG: He had an up-and-down season. After his fast start, he had a stretch of 10 races where he placed outside the top 10 in seven of those events. Take away the 82 laps he led at Homestead and Hill led only 33 laps in the second half of the season.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2025: Hill returns to Richard Childress Racing in his quest to win the Xfinity Series championship.
