🇺🇸 Tracy Hines

Tracy Hines is a professional driver whose indexed racing career spans two NASCAR series between 2004 and 2013. He raced primarily in NASCAR Xfinity, running 17 starts for FitzBradshaw Racing across three seasons on oval tracks. A single NASCAR Truck start for ThorSport Racing completed his nine-year gap in this database before retirement.[1]

His NASCAR Xfinity tenure from 2004 to 2006 placed him 43rd in championship standings in his final full season. Against established professional company including Kenny Wallace and Johnny Sauter, both regular opponents in the series, Hines typically finished behind them. He nonetheless secured finishes ahead of Denny Hamlin, an elite professional and future NASCAR Cup Series competitor, twice, and ahead of Ryan Blaney, later the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, once.[2]

Hines competed in a field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals on equal terms; his record reflects mid-pack standing in that company. His NASCAR career runs parallel to a separate open-wheel record in USAC championships, where Wikipedia credits him as a three-time national champion across Sprint Car, Silver Crown and Midget categories, though those results are not indexed here. His later role as Competition Director for ThorSport Racing marks a move into team management rather than continued driving.
