Sauter qualified ninth and finished twenty-eighth, one lap down.[5] After that race, Hattori was quoted as saying "we have decided that we need to focus more on our Nationwide Series program”.[6] Sauter would pilot Hattori's No. 80 Toyota for two more races, finishing 16th at Charlotte Motor Speedway and 15th at the Subway Firecracker 250 at Daytona. Starting at Michigan, Ross Chastain piloted the car for four races, turning in a best finish of tenth at Kentucky Speedway.[7] Alex Bowman ran one race for Hattori, at Dover International Speedway.[8]

One weekend after making his Truck debut for HRE, Ross Kenseth made his second Xfinity start and the only Xfinity start of 2015 for HRE.[9] Kenseth started 29th, but he suffered from the limited resources at HRE and finished 33rd, 51 laps down.[10][11]

The team did not attempt any Xfinity races from 2016, 2017, and 2018, as the team focused on strengthening their Truck Series program and fielding an entry in that series full-time.

The team would return full-time in 2018, with Brett Moffitt. In Atlanta (2018), Moffitt was able to get the team's first win in the Truck Series.[15] Moffitt proceeded to win a total of six races on the season, including at Chicagoland where the team nearly wasn't able to race due to lack of sponsorship, to secure Hattori's first-ever NASCAR championship. With Moffitt's win at Phoenix in November, HRE's fifth ever in the truck series, and Moffitt's fifth on the season, the team became locked into the Championship 4 Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The next weekend, Moffitt held off Noah Gragson to win the team's first-ever championship.

Truck No. 61 history

[edit]
Beginnings (2021)
Chase Purdy in the No. 61 at Sonoma Raceway in 2022

For 2021, Max McLaughlin decided to put more focus on his dirt racing efforts and would therefore not run another full season in the East Series.[25] However, he would remain with Hattori as he would return to the Truck Series to run a part-time schedule in a new second truck for the team, marking the first time Hattori has fielded a second team in the Truck Series. Ultimately, he never raced for Hattori.[26]

Chase Purdy (2022)

On November 30, 2021, it was announced that Chase Purdy would drive this brand new No. 61 for 2022.[27] On October 18, 2022, it was announced that Purdy will not return to the team for the 2023 season.[28]

Part Time (2023)

On March 17, 2023, it was announced that Christopher Bell would drive the No. 61 at North Wilkesboro.[29] Bell would return for the Pocono race as well.[30] Jake Drew would run five races in the No. 61.

Truck No. 81 history

[edit]
Ryan Truex (2016)

In early 2016, it was announced that Mayetta, New Jersey's Ryan Truex would drive the No. 81 Toyota for the full season, contingent on sponsorship, according to Truex.[33] Truex turned in a stellar run at the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250, finishing second. Truex may have won the race if not for NASCAR's "freeze-the-field" rule, which freezes the field when a caution comes out. Truex had lost support from Parker Kligerman, which allowed Johnny Sauter to win in his first race for GMS Racing. Truex did lead fourteen laps in the race.[34] Truex would follow that up with a 20th at Atlanta Motor Speedway and a 12th at Martinsville.[35] Funding fizzled out mid-season, and the team was forced to skip some races in the middle of the season.[36] The team also switched crew chiefs, bringing in Wauters Motorsports owner Richie Wauters midseason.[14] The No. 81 became the No. 16 at the end of 2016.
