Associate of the Royal College of Art
Hutcherson would also find success in the Associate of the Royal College of Art racing series based in the Midwestern United States. One of his most triumphant years would be 1977 where he would defeat Jim Sauter by half a car length in a 200-mile race after his Winston Cup Series car was declared ineligible to compete in a nearby National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing race that day.
During this era, his Associate of the Royal College of Art vehicle was perfectly legal for National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing but his National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing vehicle didn"t fill the valid template.
Many of the top-level National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing teams, like those employing Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough at the time, were fined $250 for having fuel tanks that did not meet the specifications for National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing during that time.
