Hendrick made hisBusch Series debut in 2003, when he ran a hodgepodge of entries. He made his debut atGateway, where he started thirtieth for theStanton Barrett Racing operation. He ran a solid race and came home 21st. He did astart and park race forGIC-Mixon Motorsports atNazareth, before doing another start and park atDover for Rick Allen. Hendrick would return then to the Stanton Barrett Racing for two more 2003 races. He was 35th atNashville and 27th atKentucky.

Hendrick was tapped to drive the firstKeller Racing vehicles in 2004, a team that ran a ten-race schedule. The new team struggled. Hendrick only qualified for six races and his best finish was an 18th at Kentucky. The Kentucky race was the only one that Hendrick finished. He was released, and he would only compete in one more series race. It, too, came in 2004, when he drove theWare Racing Enterprises Dodge to a 42nd-place finish in the fall Dover race.

He returned in 2008 at Mexico driving a secondStanton Barrett Motorsports car in place ofStan Barrett who was originally meant to race for the team. He qualified and finished 38th after pulling in with handling issues. He then drove atRichmond replacing the injuredLarry Gunselman atMSRP Motorsports qualifying fortieth and finishing 43rd after parking the car on lap 6. He made a second start forStanton Barrett atDarlington starting 34th and finishing 36th after parking on lap thirty.

In 2009, Hendrick drove forSmith-Ganassi Racing, a team that had bought the assets of the shut-down No. 40 team.

Hendrick ran fourCraftsman Truck Series races in 1996 to start his career off. He started his career with a top-ten start: a ninth in his debut atPhoenix. He finished 28th in that race. His best run of the year was a modest 23rd place finish atLas Vegas.

Four more races were in store for Hendrick. He had one top-twenty finish. That was a nineteenth atTexas, racing forRob Rizzo. He had started the year off with the team, but after finishes of 29th and 24th, they let him go.

Hendrick would not race in this series until 2003, when he did astart and park effort in a secondBilly Ballew Motorsports No. 9 entry. Because of the nature of the effort, Hendrick did not complete any of the dozen starts he did and his best finish was a 31st atIRP, where he also recorded his second career top-ten start of tenth.

Hendrick returned to the Trucks when he ran atKansas Speedway in the No. 16Xpress Motorsports truck on April 28, 2007.
