JUSTIN HILL
Justin Hill has been showing his true potential as of late. The Hill brothers have always been known to be incredibly talented riders and Justin is now carrying the torch for the family, at least in the racing aspect of the sport. A couple of years ago, the young Washington native surprised many when he showed himself to be a true threat for wins in the premier division, as he made his 450 class debut at the Monster Energy
Cup. Justin was lightning fast and straight up beat riders like Ryan Dungey and Justin Barcia. Now, Justin has stepped back down to the smaller bike and seems to be back at full speed. After a roller coaster of a year, he made his return just a few weeks ago at Washougal after hurting his back earlier this season. Everyone expected Justin to be fast, granted he grew up racing and riding the track in his home state. Justin clicked off a top five overall finish and was able to back it up with an incredible 4th overall last weekend at Unadilla. He seems to be carrying an abundance of confidence and it will not be a surprise if he can put in another top five finish in the stacked 250 class this weekend at Budds Creek.
