Austin Hill shed light on his personal interaction with Kevin Harvick after Kyle Busch's tragic loss. The Richard Childress Racing driver shared that Harvick wanted him to remain stoic in front of his team.
Hill was called up to fill in for Busch after the latter's untimely death on May 21. The 32-year-old has been driving the No. 33 car in Busch's stead ever since.
In a recent media interview with NASCAR reporter Steven Taranto, Hill outlined Harvick's words of wisdom.
"The biggest takeaway that I got from Kevin was just to be mentally tough and not to show your emotion in front of everyone. If you're gonna have a breakdown moment or anything like that happen, do that behind closed doors," he said.
"You need to be the tough guy when it comes to driving the race car and being in the shop and being prepared," Hill added, "and showing those guys that you mean business and that you're here for them and you're here to be that shoulder to lean on."
