Chuck Hulse was a semi-professional driver whose racing record on file spans three seasons in the Star Mazda Championship from 2007 to 2009, a feeder series for single-seater racing. Across 19 starts, he did not win a race or finish on the podium, averaging a 14th-place finish. His record shows consistent mid-field placement against a competitive field that included established professionals and drivers who would go on to win championships at higher levels.[1]
Hulse's performance placed him in competition with drivers substantially stronger than his own rating of 3,640 suggests. He finished ahead of Christopher Cumming and Peter Dempsey, both professional-tier drivers rated in the 4,500s, on multiple occasions, and beat Bronze-graded sportscar competitor Dempsey four times across their shared races. He was outpaced more often than not by Alex Ardoin and other frequent rivals, finishing behind them in the majority of their encounters. His single outing against 2010 Star Mazda champion Conor Daly, a Gold-graded professional then at the top of the series, resulted in a finish ahead; this was an isolated result rather than evidence of competitive parity.
Hulse was primarily fielded by JDC Motorsports across 12 of his 19 starts. His last racing activity came in 2009, and he passed away in 2020 at the age of 92, having competed in four Indianapolis 500 starts during his earlier career.
