He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 61 Toyota Camry for Hattori Racing Enterprises and the No. 20 Toyota Camry for Venturini Motorsports, and full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West, driving the No. 61 for HRE, the No. 24 Chevrolet for Sigma Performance Services, the No. 5 Toyota for Jerry Pitts Racing, and the No. 15 Toyota for Venturini Motorsports. He is the 2023 and 2024 ARCA Menards Series West champion.

Racing career

Hingorani raced in the Southwest for the majority of his early racing career, running legends cars in 2021, whilst running the Silver State Road Course Championship, where he won the championship.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2023/01/18/sean-hingorani-venturini-motorsports-east-series-2023/ |title=Sean Hingorani, Venturini Motorsports to chase East Series championship in 2023 |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=January 18, 2023 |access-date=February 15, 2023}}

In 2022, Hingorani made his ARCA Menards Series West debut at Evergreen Speedway, driving the No. 4 Toyota for Eric Nascimento, whose team Hingorani had raced for in late-model competition.{{cite web |url=https://kickinthetires.net/nascar/arca-series/get-to-know-arca-west-series-driver-sean-hingorani/ |title=Get to Know ARCA West Series Driver Sean Hingorani |website=Kickin' the Tires |date=September 12, 2022 |access-date=February 15, 2023}} 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 at Portland International Raceway.

On January 18, 2023, it was announced that Hingorani would run in the ARCA Menards Series East full-time for Venturini Motorsports in the No. 15 Toyota.{{cite web |url=https://frontstretch.com/2023/01/18/sean-hingorani-running-partial-arca-schedule-for-venturini/ |title=Sean Hingorani Running Partial ARCA Schedule for Venturini |website=Frontstretch |date=January 18, 2022 |access-date=February 15, 2023}} 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.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2023/02/15/sean-hingorani-venturini-motorsports-west-series-championships |title=Sean Hingorani, Venturini Motorsports add West Series championship run to 2023 race schedule |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=February 15, 2023 |access-date=February 15, 2023}} On July 7, Hingorani was involved in an accident near the closing laps of the Zinsser SmartCoat 150 at Mid-Ohio with teammate Dean 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 and Bob Schacht.{{Cite web |title=Tyler Ankrum rallies to win wild ARCA race at Mid-Ohio |url=https://www.motorsport.com/arca/news/tyler-ankrum-rallies-to-win-wild-arca-race-at-mid-ohio-/10493003/amp/ |access-date=July 8, 2023 |website=Motorsport Network |language=en}} On July 10, it was announced that Hingorani was suspended for one race (the main and East series combo race at Iowa), 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.{{Cite web |last=Branscum |first=Benjamine |date=July 10, 2023 |title=Sean Hingorani Suspended by ARCA, Given Probation Following Mid-Ohio Incident |url=https://tobychristie.com/2023/07/10/sean-hingorani-suspended-by-arca-given-probation-following-mid-ohio-incident/ |access-date=July 10, 2023 |website=TobyChristie.com}}

On August 18, 2023, it was announced that Hingorani would make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at The Milwaukee Mile, driving the 61 truck for Hattori Racing Enterprises. He started 27th and finished 23rd.{{Cite web |last=Christie |first=Toby |date=August 18, 2023 |title=Sean Hingorani Making Truck Debut for Hattori Racing Enterprises at The Milwaukee Mile |url=https://tobychristie.com/2023/08/18/sean-hingorani-making-truck-debut-for-hattori-racing-enterprises-at-the-milwaukee-mile/ |access-date=November 2, 2023 |website=TobyChristie.com}} On October 27, it was announced that Hingorani would drive the 75 truck for Henderson Motorsports at the season finale in Phoenix.{{Cite web |last=Christie |first=Toby |date=October 27, 2023 |title=Sean Hingorani to Pilot No. 75 Henderson Truck at Phoenix Raceway |url=https://tobychristie.com/2023/10/27/sean-hingorani-to-pilot-no-75-henderson-truck-at-phoenix-raceway/ |access-date=November 2, 2023 |website=TobyChristie.com}}

In 2024, it was announced that Hingorani would join Hattori Racing Enterprises and drive the No. 61 Toyota in the main ARCA series, the East and West series.{{cite web |url=https://www.hre.us.com/news/sean-hingorani-to-compete-in-the-arca-menards-series-forhre-no-61-toyota-camry-for-2024 |title=Sean Hingorani to compete in the ARCA Menards Series for HRE No. 61 Toyota Camry for 2024 |website=Hattori Racing Enterprises |date=February 29, 2024 |access-date=February 29, 2024}} However, after finishing fifth at Phoenix, Hingorani and HRE would part ways prior to the West Series race at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, a race he and the team originally entered in. He would move over to the No. 24 Chevrolet for Sigma Performance Services, which was originally scheduled to be driven by team owner Joe Farré, who had to withdraw due to his company overseeing the cleanup of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which had collapsed weeks prior,{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/04/24/joe-farre-baltimore-bridge-cleanup-west-series-team/ |title=Strength through adversity: Joe Farré overseeing Baltimore bridge cleanup while managing new West Series team |website=ARCA Menards Series |date=April 24, 2024 |access-date=April 26, 2024}} and HRE withdrew from the event entirely.{{cite web |url=https://kickinthetires.net/nascar/arca-menards-west-series-2024-team-chart/ |title=ARCA Menards West Series – 2024 Team Chart |website=Kickin' the Tires |date=March 4, 2024 |access-date=March 4, 2024}} Hingorani then drove the No. 5 Toyota for Jerry Pitts Racing at the next two events at Portland and Sonoma. In early June, He reunited with Venturini Motorsports to win both race 1 and race 2 of the Irwindale weekend.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/07/07/2-for-2-sean-hingorani-completes-weekend-sweep-at-irwindale-speedway/ |title=2 for 2: Sean Hingorani completes weekend sweep at Irwindale Speedway |first=Brandon |last=White |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=July 7, 2024 |access-date=September 24, 2024}} Hingorani returned to Jerry Pitts Racing to score two second-place finishes at Shasta and Tri-City.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/video/reeses-sweet-move-of-the-race-sean-hingorani-powers-to-second-at-shasta/ |title=Reese's Sweet Move of the Race: Sean Hingorani powers to second at Shasta |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=July 27, 2024 |access-date=September 24, 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/video/sean-hingorani-leads-laps-settles-for-second-during-napa-auto-care-150/ |title=Sean Hingorani leads laps, settles for second during NAPA Auto Care 150 |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=August 10, 2024 |access-date=September 24, 2024}} He returned to Venturini to win at Kern and finish third at Phoenix to secure his second consecutive ARCA West championship.{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/10/27/race-results-kern-raceway/ |title=Race results: NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=October 27, 2024 |access-date=November 12, 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://www.arcaracing.com/2024/11/08/sean-hingorani-west-series-title-connor-zilisch-phoenix/ |title=Sean Hingorani earns second consecutive West Series title; Connor Zilisch secures season-ending Phoenix victory |first=Brandon |last=White |website=ARCA Menards Series |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media |date=November 8, 2024 |access-date=November 12, 2024}}
