seasons.  He and Skinner won eight races and finished second in points during the 2007 season.  Hensley then moved to Red Horse Racing for 2009 and 2010 to work with Timothy Peters.  The duo won in both years with victories at Martinsville and Daytona.  Hensley left RHR after 2010 to work for Kevin Harvick Incorporated.  He initially served as Ron Hornaday's crew chief and they got two wins.  Mid-season, he moved to crew chief for Nelson Piquet, Jr. and the #8 truck, before joining Joe Denette Motorsports for the final race of the season.  In 2012 he started the year with JDM, reunited with Hornaday, before moving to Turner Scott Motorsports to crew chief for Miguel Paludo halfway through the season, a role he reprised in 2013.  In 2014, Hensley started the season working for owner Bob Newberry before moving to work for owner Mike Curb and his driver Johnny Sauter.  The duo won at Michigan on their first outing. 2014 saw Hensley move to work with driver Cameron Hayley and ThorSport Racing.  It was Hayleys rookie season in the Truck Series and they paired together for four Top 5 finishes with a best of third at Martinsville.  Hensley moved again in 2016; this time work call the shots for driver Spencer Gallagher who drove for Gallagher Motorsports.  He only had one Top 5, but it was a second at Talladega.  Hensley was on the move again in 2017.  This time he was reunited with owner Mike Curb and his driver Grant Enfinger.  The duo posted eight Top 5 finishes and finished 11th in the points.  2018 saw Enfinger post a win and seven Top 5 finishes and 15 Top 10's.  The pair went win-less in 2019 and finished seventh in points.  2020 saw them have a good year as Enfinger would win four times, including the season opening race at Daytona.  He made the Chase and was in a must-win situation as they raced at Martinsville; the final race before the Championship at Phoenix.  He managed to pull off the win to advance.  At Phoenix his truck couldn't keep up with the other Championship contenders as he finished 13th in the race and fourth in the points.  For the 2021 season, Hensley worked with driver Chase Purdy at GMS. The best result of the season came at Gateway where he finished sixth. Their only other top ten was a ninth at Martinsville.  After the 2021 season, Hensley left GMS to be the crew chief for Brett Moffitt's #02 car for Our Motorsports in the Xfinity Series in 2022.  It would have been Hensley's first time crew chiefing in the Xfinity Series since 2001 when he was the crew chiefing for his family team's #63 car driven by Shane Hall.  However, in February, 2022, NASCAR on Fox reporter Bob Pockrass, revealed in a tweet, that Hensley had already left Our Motorsports before the start of the season and would instead go back to ThorSport to crew chief Matt Crafton's #88 truck.  Crafton's crew chief for the previous ten years, Carl "Junior" Joiner, had retired.  The duo stayed together for 14 races.  On the good side, in that span, they had eight top ten finishes.  On the bad side; they wasn't competitive enough to compete for the wins. Before race #15, Hensley made a mid-season move to go to work for GMS Racing and their driver Grant Enfinger. Hensley had called the shots for Enfinger previously at ThorSport.  Three races into the pairing, they would win at Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP).  The next three races, they finished in the top five, and was a strong force during the play-offs.  But during the round before the Championship race; they had finishes of 4th; 29th, and 14th which eliminated them from racing for the Championship.  They finished eighth in season points.  In 2023, the season started off well as they finished fifth at Daytona.  They got a win at Kansas to lock into the Chase.  Four races later they found victory lane again at St Louis.  When the Chase started, they won at Milwaukee, advancing them to the Round of 8.  Strong runs in that round saw them race for the championship at Phoenix.  He would have to beat Ben Rhodes, Carson Hocevar and Corey Heim to claim the crown.  Ty Majeski and Corey Heim had the best trucks early and led the first 95 laps.  Christian Eckes and Zane Smith led the middle stretch of the race.  All this time Hocevar was getting faster and was stout competition for Heim.  Rhodes and Enfinger ran in the back half of the top ten.  With about 30 laps to go; on a restart; Hocevar went to dive under Heim on the apron; slid up the track and spun out both of them.  Heim was a very unhappy camper.  The race restarted and Zane Smith drove away from the pack; and with two laps to go was on his way to the win, with Enfinger running the best of the Championship contenders.  But Heim chose this time to show his displeasure with Hocevar and intentionally crashed him; stealing the win from Smith; and championship from Enfinger.  Then the race became a crash-fest.  It took almost 30 laps to get the final two-lap overtime finished.  There was yellow after yellow before the checkers mercifully waved on lap 179.  By now Christian Eckes was leading and Rhodes had bypassed Enfinger to win his second Truck championship.  Owner Maury Gallagher decided to close down his GMS truck series race team since he had joined with Legacy Motor Club in the Cup Series.  Hensley moved to TRICON Garage to lead the efforts of Taylor Gray in the Truck series.  As of the end of 2023, Hensley has eleven wins in the Xfinity Series along with the 1990 Championship with Chuck Bown.  He also has 22 wins in the Truck Series and was second in the points in 2023.

As of the end of 2022, Hensley has eleven wins in the Xfinity Series along with the 1990 Championship with Chuck Bown.  He also has 19 wins in the Truck Series.
