Sean Hingorani (born October 13, 2006) is an American professionalstock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in theARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 13Toyota Camry forCentral Coast Racing. He is the2023 and2024ARCA Menards Series West champion.
Hingorani raced in the Southwest for the majority of his early racing career, running Legends cars in 2021, while running the Silver State Road Course Championship, where he won the championship.[1]
In 2022, Hingorani made hisARCA Menards Series West debut atEvergreen Speedway, driving the No. 4Toyota forEric 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 atPortland International Raceway.
On January 18, 2023, it was announced that Hingorani would run in theARCA Menards Series East full-time forVenturini 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 teammateDean 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 andBob Schacht.[5] On July 10, it was announced that Hingorani was suspended for one race (the main and East series combo race atIowa), 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 hisNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at TheMilwaukee Mile, driving the 61 truck forHattori Racing Enterprises. He started 27th and finished 23rd.[7] On October 27, it was announced that Hingorani would drive the 75 truck forHenderson Motorsports at the season finale in Phoenix.[8]
In 2024, it was announced that Hingorani would joinHattori Racing Enterprises and drive the No. 61Toyota 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 atKevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, a race he and the team originally entered in. He would move over to the No. 24Chevrolet forSigma Performance Services, which was originally scheduled to be driven by team ownerJoe Farré, who had to withdraw due to his company overseeing the cleanup of theFrancis Scott Key Bridge, which hadcollapsed weeks prior,[10] and HRE withdrew from the event entirely.[11] Hingorani then drove the No. 5Toyota forJerry Pitts Racing at the next two events at Portland and Sonoma. In early June, He reunited with Venturini Motorsports to win bothrace 1 andrace 2 of theIrwindale weekend.[12] Hingorani returned to Jerry Pitts Racing to score two second-place finishes atShasta andTri-City.[13][14] He returned to Venturini to win atKern and finish third atPhoenix to secure his second consecutive ARCA West championship.[15][16]
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]
