'I'm excited to compete in the No. 33 United Rentals Chevrolet again this year,' said Hill in a statement from the team. 'United Rentals has been a longtime supporter of my career and to continue that relationship once again at the top level of our sport is special.
'I've enjoyed my starts in the Cup Series so far and the goal is to keep learning every time I climb into the car. We have been strategic with adding new tracks to the lineup each season, which allows me to gain valuable experience.
'Racing for Richard at any level is an honor, but especially in the Cup Series. The focus remains on winning the Xfinity Series championship in November, but any laps in the Cup car are important for the future.'

84 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 84?
84 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 84? The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 84 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 84 No. 84 currently belongs to wide receiver Justin Watson, who signed a one-year deal this offseason after spending the past several seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. There's a chance Watson's doesn't even make the active roster, but his size, physicality and special teams skills might make him the future No. 6 option in the passing attack. Since he's new to the roster, Watson can't be the best player to ever wear the No. 84 in a Texans uniform. The options, however, are slim over the last two decades. TE Teagan Quitoriano (2022-2023) TE Ryan Griffin (2013-2018) WR Darnell Jenkins (2008) WR Eric Moulds (2006) TE Marcellus Rivers (2005) WR J.J. Moses (2003-2004) WR Jermaine Lewis (2002) Best Player: Ryan Griffin Arguably the best No. 2 tight end in franchise history, Griffin was the ideal option to start in a pinch. While he never became the No. 1 option, he spent five seasons stabilizing the passing attack across the middle of the field as a No. 3 or No. 4 target. Drafted out of UConn in the sixth round, Griffin caught over 110 passes for nine touchdowns. He eventually cashed in on a contract with the New York Jets in 2019, where he caught a career-high five touchdowns. In five seasons, he averaged a career-best 14.4 yards per reception. His best season came in 2016, when he caught 50 balls for 442 yards.

85 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 85?
85 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 85? The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 86 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 85 No. 85 currently belongs to rookie wide receiver Daniel Jackson. The Cal product is a long shot to make the final 3-man roster, but he impressed in several drills during minicamp and OTAs. With Jackson being a rookie, he can't be the best player in franchise history to wear No. 85, though the pickings are slim despite two decades of experience. TE Teagan Quitoriano (2024) WR Noah Brown (2023) TE Pharaoh Brown (2020-2021) TE MyCole Pruitt (2017-2018) WR Nate Washington (2015) TE Joel Dreessen (2007-2011) WR Kevin Walter (2006) WR Corey Bradford (2002-2005) Best Player: TE Joel Dreessen Walter might be the better player, but he switched over to No. 83 after the 2006 season. Dreessen, one of the better blocking tight ends, helped Houston go from a bottom-dwelling offense under Gary Kubiak to an AFC South champion before departing after the 2011 season. In five seasons, Dreesen caught 105 passes for 1,323 yards and 13 TDs. His best season came in 2010, when he totaled career-highs in receptions (36), receiving yards (518) and yards per reception (14.4). His back-to-back promising campaigns led to a payday with the Denver Broncos in 2012. And don't worry about Walter. He's about to show up later this week on the list. Schultz with a solid season will likely take over this spot in 2026, but Gaffney's role as a No. 2 receiver in the early stages of the team's tenure. Gaffney never took over games and was constantly dealing with injuries, but he averaged 42 catches over four seasons. He also finished with seven touchdowns and averaged 13.8 yards per attempt.

Oilers seek more early goals to avoid Game 6 elimination in Stanley Cup final
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers' quest for a Stanley Cup would be less uphill if they could strike first in a game in the series, says their coach. The Florida Panthers have outscored the Oilers 7-0 in the first period in three straight games of the Cup final, and 11-4 in first periods overall in the series. Edmonton trails the best-of-seven championship series 3-2 heading into Tuesday's Game 6 in Sunrise, Fla., where the defending champion Panthers will complete a Cup repeat if the Oilers can't wrest the series home to Edmonton on Friday. Early deficits and chasing Florida need to be reined in for the Oilers to avoid elimination a second straight year at the hands of the Panthers, said Kris Knoblauch on Sunday. 'Capitalizing early would be something that would be very good for us,' was an understatement by the head coach. 'I know numerous starts of games we've had quality chances very early in the games. 'If we're able to capitalize on those, playing with the lead early in the game would alleviate the pressure. We just have to be ready to start. That's so important.' After Connor Brown's semi-breakaway 29 seconds into Saturday's 5-2 loss at Rogers Place, Edmonton didn't register another shot on net for the next eight minutes. Within seconds of the Oilers launching their first two salvos on Sergei Bobrovsky, the ice suddenly tilted in the Panthers' favour. Brad Marchand was quicker to the puck off a neutral-zone faceoff the Oilers won. He beat Mattias Ekholm inside to get to goalie Calvin Pickard, and Edmonton was chasing again. The Oilers may be the comeback kings of the 2025 playoffs with eight come-from-behind wins, but going to that well again in a Cup elimination game Tuesday against the defending champions is a low-odds scenario, and also didn't happen Saturday. 'It'd be nice to have that lead and play with that, just knowing that they have to open things up when they're trailing,' Knoblauch said. The combination of a short turnaround and the travel between Thursday's Game 4 in Sunrise and Saturday's Game 5 in Edmonton further impeded the Oilers' chances of another comeback victory. Both teams get a longer breather ahead of Tuesday's Game 6, but the Oilers arguably need more time to top up the tank. The Panthers up 2-0 after the first period and 3-0 early in the third Saturday were able to hold their top three producers — Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett and Marchand — to a combined 45 minutes of ice time compared to Edmonton's top trio of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and defenceman Evan Bouchard at a combined 76 minutes. McDavid scored his first goal of the Cup final to cut the deficit to two goals in the third period. He and Draisaitl are the NHL playoff co-leaders at 33 points apiece. The Oilers need McDavid's offensive wizardry Tuesday while the Panthers will try to take away the captain's time and space. 'There's been a lot of good scoring chances for him,' Knoblauch said. 'I've got no issues with his game. 'Our team relies heavily on him and Leon and how they're playing. It's tight checking for everyone and it's not going to be a mid-season game against a non-playoff team when there's sometimes (McDavid) has had 10 or 12 scoring chances. 'Those numbers are obviously reduced playing against a good team like Florida but I think Connor's been one of our best players every single night and that's what we expect.' Knoblauch didn't reveal Sunday whether Pickard or Stuart Skinner would be his Game 6 starter. Pickard stopped 14 of 18 shots after 22 of 23 in relief of Skinner in Edmonton's Game 4 overtime win. The coach stated his choice of goalie was 'not an easy decision', but acknowledged life would also be easier on either netminder if the Oilers weren't trying to get up off the mat early. 'It'd be nice to get some goal support and last night was a case where we were having difficulty generating offence,' Knoblauch said. The Panthers beat the Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 to win the 2024 Stanley Cup. Florida led the series 3-0 before the Oilers won three straight to send it back to Sunrise. 'Certainly, the context changes when you get this close, but having a bit of an experience does matter,' Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said. 'It does help in this. We were all pretty wired after Game 3 last year, and I think we can handle that a bit better now.' The Panthers can become the first franchise to clinch each of their first two championships on home ice since the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014.
