Craftsman Truck Series

Hutchens debuted in the Truck Series in
2017
at
Iowa
,
[2]
where he drove the No. 66 for
Bolen Motorsports
and finished 16th in that race.
He returned to the
Truck Series in 2019
at
Charlotte
driving the No. 14 for his own team, but failed to qualify. He did qualify for the
Texas race in June
and finished 24th. After failing to qualify for multiple races due to the large number of entries that year, Hutchens moved to the full-time No. 8 truck for
NEMCO Motorsports
to run at
Iowa
, the same thing that
Tony Mrakovich
had done with his upstart team.
Hutchens returned to his own No. 14 truck for the
2020 season
, planning to make his first attempt of the season at Charlotte as he did the previous year. However, with no qualifying for the weekend and his team not having enough owner points, they were excluded from the race and failed to qualify again. He came back the next weekend at
Atlanta Motor Speedway
, but failed to qualify again. Hutchens qualified at
Kentucky Speedway
,
Michigan Speedway
and
Texas Motor Speedway
, posting a best finish of 29th at Michigan.
[3]
He came back in 2021, but failed to qualify in the
Fr8Auctions 200
,
ToyotaCare 250
,
WISE Power 200
, and the
LiftKits4Less.com 200
. He did eventually qualify for his first
North Carolina Education Lottery 200
after
Spencer Davis
and
Ray Ciccarelli
withdrew. He locked up in a bad crash with
Johnny Sauter
that obliterated Sauter's right side and Hutchens' driver side. Both drivers were okay.
Drew Dollar
though, survived the crash after spinning out from Sauter.
According to the entry list, Hutchens would make his first start of the 2022 season at
Kansas Speedway
. He made his first start in 2023 at Texas Motor Speedway, but was taken out in a huge scary crash involving multiple trucks. He says he is not sure whether they will be able to run more races or not because they have a limited number of trucks and only one engine so if it got damaged then he probably would not make it back to the track this year.
Personal life
[

Hutchens attended
North Carolina State University
where he majored in engineering and minored in computer programming. He also is a graduate of
North Davidson High School
, where he was the senior class president.
[4]
He is the son of Bobby Hutchens Jr, a longtime NASCAR race team executive who worked in a variety of positions for
Richard Childress Racing
and was also the competition director for
Stewart-Haas Racing
and later
JTG Daugherty Racing
,
[5]
and is currently the crew chief for his son's No. 14 truck.
Hutchens' mother, Sharon, died of breast cancer when he was age eleven and in middle school.
