Who is Jeff Hensley?

Jeff Hensley, is a former NASCAR driver. Currently, he is the crew chief for Miguel Paludo, who drives No. 32 truck for Turner Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series. He most recently served as the Director of Competition for Bobby Hamilton Racing-Virginia.

Hensley began racing at the age of eighteen, racing in various short tracks in Virginia and North Carolina. In 1982, he moved to the newly formed Busch Grand National Series, competing in the #63 for his family-owned team. In his first season of competition, he ran ten races, and had five top-ten finishes. His abbreviated schedule landed him twentieth in points. The following season, he ran twenty-eight of the schedule thirty-five races, and had nine top-ten finishes, and improved to tenth in standings.

He had two less top-tens in 1984, but had a career-best eighth-place finish in points. After he dropped to three top-tens in 1985, in the #2 Flute's Sheetmetal car, he retired and became the crew chief for his family's #63 car. He worked with Jimmy Hensley, Larry Pollard, and Mike Swaim over the next three years before Chuck Bown became the new driver of the 63 in 1989.
