Jesus Hernandez

Jesus Hernandez (born April 1, 1981) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competed in what is now the ARCA Menards Series East full-time for three years from 2007 to 2009, while also making one start in both the West and ARCA Series during the course of his career. Being a Hispanic American, Hernandez was also a member of the Drive for Diversity program.

Racing career Hernandez made his NASCAR debut in the West Series at Phoenix International Raceway in 2007, driving the No. 4 Waste Management Chevy Monte Carlo SS. Hernandez finished fifth that race, his first and only start in that series. For the rest of the year, he full-time and for rookie of the year in the NASCAR Busch East Series with the same team, sponsor and car number. Allstate signed on as a sponsor for the team beginning in June of that year.

Hernandez was brought over to Dale Earnhardt, Inc., when Ginn merged with DEI in July 2007. His No. 4 team skipped the race at Adirondack International Speedway during the transition, and returned in time for the next race at Lime Rock Park. After this merger, Hernandez joined Jeffrey Earnhardt and Trevor Bayne as DEI's development drivers. If the merger had not happened, Hernandez was going to make his Truck Series debut in Morgan-Dollar Motorsports' No. 47 truck, sharing the ride with fellow Ginn development driver Kraig Kinser.

After DEI's merger with Chip Ganassi Racing to become Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, the team closed down their East Series team due to a lack of sponsorship, and Hernandez was released from his full-time ride after the season, but remained a development and test driver for the organization.

Hernandez did not return to the Williams team and EGR in 2010 in order to seek a full-time ride in the ARCA or Truck Series.
