Racing career

Hudson made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at Salem Speedway, driving the No. 62 Chevrolet for Bob Aiello, where he started sixth and finished eighth. [1] He would run six more races for Aiello during the year, earning his only pole position in the series' return to Salem that October. Across the year, he scored three top-tens with a best finish of sixth at Lake Erie Speedway. Hudson then ran only three races in 2006, running one race for Dan Kinney at the first Salem event, where he finished twentieth, and two with Aiello, finishing 23rd at the second Salem event due to handling issues, and 21st at Iowa Speedway.

In 2007, Hudson formed his own team, and ran in four events that year. He finished in the top-ten in all the races he entered in with a best finish of fourth at the first Salem event. He then ran six events the following year, getting two sixth-place finishes at Kentucky Speedway and the second Salem event. Hudson then ran only one race for 2009 and 2010, although he did attempt to qualify for the first Salem event for Venturini Motorsports in the No. 35 Chevrolet, but failed to qualify.

In 2011, Hudson ran the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, driving his self-owned No. 94 Dodge, having participated in pre-season testing at the track a month prior to the race. [2] After starting 21st, Hudson finished in 43rd after suffering a crash due to a tire delamination four laps into the race. [3] His team was able to repair the car in time for the next race at Talladega Superspeedway, where he finish fourth after starting eighteenth. [4] He then ran the following race at Salem, this time in a Chevrolet, where he finished twentieth due to suspension issues. Afterwards, Hudson would not make another start that year until the race at Lucas Oil Raceway, where he finished tenth after starting twentieth. [5] He then made his last race of the year at the second Salem event, where he finished 23rd due a crash. [6]

In 2012, Hudson ran both super-speedway events at Daytona and Talladega, finishing 21st in both races. [7] [8] He then finish 34th at both the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, and the second Salem event. In 2013, he only ran Daytona and the first Salem event, crashing out in both races, finishing 36th and 25th respectively.

After not running in the series in 2014, Hudson made a comeback at Daytona, driving his self-owned No. 09 Dodge. [9] [10] After starting fourth, he finished third, which was his best in the series. [11] Afterwards, Hudson was docked 190 points after altering his restrictor-plate package on his car. Hudson returned to Daytona the following year, this time in the No. 15, where he finished in thirteenth after starting 27th. [12] [13] He then ran at Talladega, once again finishing thirteenth after starting twelfth. He has not competed in the series since then, as he has most recently competed in the CRA Street Stock Series. [14]
