This week on the Built2 Media Podcast, we celebrate Episode 100, as we sit down with Ben Hillman—a driver whose journey isn’t about finding speed, it’s about turning it into wins.

From running up front right out of the gate in 2017 and 2018 to breaking through with three wins in 2022, Ben has shown he can compete with the best. But like most racing careers, the path hasn’t been a straight line. After making the jump from Superstock to Wissota Modifieds in 2023, the #22 team has faced the challenges that come with stepping up in competition.

Now in 2025, with multiple top 10s and a runner-up finish, the momentum is building—and it feels like he’s getting close again.

We also sit down with his dad, Jan Hillman, who brings the stories. From back-in-the-day racing memories to the lessons that shaped their journey, this episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and insight.
