Cup Series edit
Car No. 56 history edit
Hill Motorsports made their Cup series debut in 1991, with Jerry Hill running the #56 Hill Motorsports Pontiac that he would drive throughout his Cup career. In his debut at Dover, Hill started and finished 38th after vibration problems, only completing 39 laps. In his second start at Rockingham, Hill managed to improve on qualifying, but finished 38th just the same after being flagged.
Hill would run four races for the team in 1992. He managed his best finish of the year of 27th at Rockingham, the only race he finished. He also improved on qualifying in 1992, earning a career best of 36th at Dover.
Hill ran two races in 1993, his last Cup starts. They both came at Rockingham, they were both 38th-place finishes and they were both DNFs. So, with the dismal results, Hill left the Cup Series.
