Racing career
Personal life
When Hillis uses the No. 0, he puts a small sized less than symbol to the left of the number to symbolize that his team is underfunded and has a budget that looks like it's less than zero. Also, in races where he drives a Toyota Camry, he tends to cover up the word "Camry" on the nose to say "Kamree", which is the name of his daughter.[1]
