Racing career

In 2015, Hinckle would make his ARCA Racing Series debut at Michigan International Speedway, driving the No. 95 Dodge for Carter 2 Motorsports. After finishing 18th in the sole practice session, he would officially start 18th due to qualifying being rained out, and was running as high as fifteenth in the race before an engine failure six laps in the event forced him to retire the car. He would be classified in the 24th position. [1] He would return with the team for the following race at Chicagoland Speedway, where he would finish 30th after failing to start due to engine issues. He was originally scheduled to run the races at Iowa Speedway and Kansas Speedway for the team, although this would not materialize. [1]

In 2016, Hinckle would run the No. 69 Ford for Kimmel Racing at Iowa, where he would start and finish 29th after failing to take the start. He would return with the team at Kansas, where he would start sixteenth and finish eight laps down in twentieth. For the following year, he would run three races for Higdon Racing in the No. 08 Ford, getting a best finish of 21st at Kansas. He would return with Kimmel Racing in 2018, driving the No. 69 at Talladega Superspeedway, where he would finish 30th after running two laps due to brake issues, and driving the No. 68 at Kansas, where he would finish nineteenth after being involved in a crash with Sheldon Creed. [2]

After not competing in the series for the next three years, Hinckle would return in 2022, running at Kansas Speedway driving the No. 06 Toyota for Wayne Peterson Racing, where he would qualify 18th and finish 16th in the race due to oil pressure issues. [3] He would return with the team the following year in the No. 0 Ford for Talladega Superspeedway, this time starting 22nd due to ARCA reverting to the owner standings from the following year to determine the starting lineup, [4] but would finish 30th after being involved in a multi-car crash when Jason Kitzmiller's transmission locked up on a restart on lap 23. [5] He would return the following race at Kansas, this time in a Toyota, where he would start 23rd and finish nine laps down in 21st. [6] [7] He would also run the season's second Kansas race, where he would finish 16th. Hinckle returned to the No. 06 in 2024, finishing 21st in the first Kansas race, 17th at Iowa, and 26th in the second Kansas race. [8] The race at Iowa, being a combination with the main series, would be his ARCA Menards Series East debut.

Personal life

Outside of racing, Hinckle is an instructor for The Racing Experience, and is the owner of KH Automotive. [1]
