Racing career

Hingorani raced in the Southwest for the majority of his early racing career, running legends cars in 2021, whilst running the Silver State Road Course Championship, where he won the championship. [1]

In 2022, Hingorani made his ARCA Menards Series West debut at Evergreen Speedway, driving the No. 4 Toyota for Eric Nascimento, whose team Hingorani had raced for in late-model competition. [2] In the race, he started seventh, and finished 14th due to a crash while running in the top-five. He would make four more starts that year, qualifying in the top ten three times, and achieving a best finish of 12th at Portland International Raceway.

On January 18, 2023, it was announced that Hingorani would run in the ARCA Menards Series East full-time for Venturini Motorsports in the No. 15 Toyota. [3] On February 15, it was announced that Hingorani would also compete full time in the ARCA Menards Series West as well, running for both East and West championships. [4] On July 7, Hingorani was involved in an accident near the closing laps of the Zinsser SmartCoat 150 at Mid-Ohio with teammate Dean Thompson. Thompson was coming around to put Hingorani a lap down, before Hingorani intentionally forced Thompson off the track. Hingorani was already summoned to the ARCA Menards officials hauler for an incident earlier in the race between him and Bob Schacht. [5] On July 10, it was announced that Hingorani was suspended for one race (the main and East series combo race at Iowa), and was placed on probation for the rest of the season following the incident. Because Iowa was the fifth race of the East Series season, he would miss out on the 50-point bonus, which is given to every driver who competes in the first five races of the season, ultimately knocking him out of championship contention. [6]

On August 18, 2023, it was announced that Hingorani would make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at The Milwaukee Mile, driving the 61 truck for Hattori Racing Enterprises. He started 27th and finished 23rd. [7] On October 27, it was announced that Hingorani would drive the 75 truck for Henderson Motorsports at the season finale in Phoenix. [8]

In 2024, it was announced that Hingorani would join Hattori Racing Enterprises and drive the No. 61 Toyota in the main ARCA series, the East and West series. [9] However, after finishing fifth at Phoenix, Hingorani and HRE would part ways prior to the West Series race at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, a race he and the team originally entered in. He would move over to the No. 24 Chevrolet for Sigma Performance Services, which was originally scheduled to be driven by team owner Joe Farré, who had to withdraw due to his company overseeing the cleanup of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which had collapsed weeks prior, [10] and HRE withdrew from the event entirely. [11] Hingorani then drove the No. 5 Toyota for Jerry Pitts Racing at the next two events at Portland and Sonoma. In early June, He reunited with Venturini Motorsports to win both race 1 and race 2 of the Irwindale weekend. [12] Hingorani returned to Jerry Pitts Racing to score two second-place finishes at Shasta and Tri-City. [13] [14] He returned to Venturini to win at Kern and finish third at Phoenix to secure his second consecutive ARCA West championship. [15] [16]

Personal life

Hingorani's father, Navin, is an executive with Fidelity Capital, a firm that offers capital for financing and leasing to businesses. Fidelity sponsors much of Hingorani's racing endeavors. [17] [18]
