Hocevar enjoys competitive run at Darlington as he continues to learn the ropes
“Carson Hocevar had an impressive performance in his second NASCAR Cup Series start, finishing 17th on the lead lap in the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. This marked his career-best run and the team’s fourth top-20 finish since March. Despite being hard on himself, Hocevar felt prepared and confident, knowing how to go fast. He was penalized for speeding on pit road but luckily under caution, so he didn’t lose any time. Hocevar had a strong showing, qualifying 15th, running as high as 10th, and avoiding going a lap down under green flag conditions. He outlasted champions Truex and Harvick, as well as other veteran drivers like Bell, Hamlin, and McDowell. Hocevar enjoyed the experience and looks forward to racing at Kansas and Bristol in the coming weeks.”
