Coming off a successful first season with the Kenyon Midget Series, Indiana business owner Jeff Hill is coming back in a big way. Last season Kyle Sheard finished sixth in the overall point standings and almost captured rookie of the year honors.

Hill competed in eight of the 12 races and finished 12th in the point standings. He captured hard charger honors at the first Berlin race along ith a third place finish. Jeff took K&K Marketing fast qualifier honors at Lorain Speedway, where he finished fourth.

This year Hill is bringing five cars to most of the races supplying full-time rides to Sheard and Landon Brown

“I'm not sure I will do the dirt races,” Hill said of his driving plans for 2024. “My focus this year is with Kyle (Sheard),” he said.

“We had a podium last year and learned a lot,” Hill said of his season. “We're hoping for more podiums and of course that first feature win.”

Hill said he believes Aaron Pierce will rent one of his cars for Kaylee Bryson, a competitor on the 500 Sprint Car Tour.

“There is a crew coming from Los Angeles to do a documentary,” he said. “They will be practicing at Anderson and have someone in the car for the first race.”

Hill is looking forward to the return to Berlin Raceway where both cars were fast.

“We're looking forward to Kalamazoo and Salem, which is an iconic speedway,” he said. “Growing up by Winchester we're familiar with Salem.”
