Racing career

Hinkle has competed in various dirt racing and sprint car series since 2013, ranging from series like the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series, the ASCS Mid-South Region Series, the MidSouth Sprint Car Association Series, and the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Sprint Car Series. [1]

In 2022, Hinkle would make his ARCA Menards Series debut 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. [2] 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, [3] 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. [4] 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. [5] [6]
