Carson Hocevar says he understands why Nascar inflicted a fine of $ 50,000 this week for a Reverend with a security worker on Sunday at Kansas Speedway.
The pilot of the second year of the series of cups was stuck on the track after a tour, a current event with this car, but he wants everyone to know that it was not malicious. The car was blocked in second speed and he needed to reassemble it to put it in neutral so that it could be towed in the work area.
As soon as the car started, she turned the tires and Nascar was forced to recognize it with a fine.
“I pulled him just to throw him into the neutral,” said Hocevar. “It is sometimes difficult to put these things in neutral, so I pulled it. Honestly, I didn’t know it had spun the tires. Obviously, there is a tow truck in front of me so I’m not going anywhere.
“I was trying to go somewhere earlier, but the tires were on the ground and they were running. But they judge according to actions and visibility and not intention, right? The tires shot, in black and white, so the next time I could just tip them over the car to throw me in a neutral. Our guys too, so I could just say that I am stuck in second position and from there.
“Nascar does not intend. They cannot know the plan and the story behind everything and judge everything and sometimes they must call it as they see.”
In fact, Hocevar says that the Nascar manager who called him to tell him about the fine was surprised that there was no argument. But Hocevar replied that it was a black and white call and he got it.
“It is due to 1200 rpm, right?” I just launched it, I threw it in neutral and I closed it, and I didn’t even know that the tires were running. They called it correctly. ”
Hocevar wanted the minimum fine for this offense was $ 5,000 and not $ 50,000.
Who pays for the fine – the driver or motorsport Spire?
“I turned the tires. It’s me.”
