Say what you want, but you cannot deny that it is difficult to keep Carson Hocevar out of the spotlight. During his second full -time season in the Cup series, he had several flash points with other pilots. Dale Earnhardt Jr. approached the last after Sunday race at Iowa Speedway.
The incident involved the driver of motor sports in the front row Zane Smith after the Hocevar car detached itself and contacted the Ford n ° 38. Smith day ended suddenly after entering the safer barrier accordingly.
His team leader, Ryan Bergenty, confronted Hocevar after the race and had a few words of choice to say to him. But Hocevar’s reaction on social networks then suggested that it was completely imperturbable.
Of course, this has become a hot discussion subject on the last episode of Dale Jr. Download. When asked about questions about Hocevar online shenanigansJunior pointed out, “This part that I like. Our sports need personality, and he has a lot of personality. Some things he does, has done or did in the future, I’m not going to love everything. But I like it because we need people (like him).”
At the same time, Junior estimated that there was one thing that Spire Motorsports N ° 77 could improve. “I think if he was trying to calm down a little, however, he would do a little better. I think he needs to clean it a little … I would like to see him do the next step to polish his job. I don’t want him to change everything he does on the track “,” Junior added.
In addition, there was solid evidence behind this junior opinion. Hocevar finished 29th or worse in five of the last nine races from Nashville, and without top-fives either.
Junior went to say,, “I just say that we are giving to the basics. Let’s go back to the race. Stop blurring a feather every weekend. Let’s run a full race. He has fast cars. He has good talents. Let’s go back to the constitution of this team, helping this team to arrive where they want to go. ”
As Junior said, Hocevar must now focus on obtaining a clean racing race where its main objective is to end in a coherent way, perhaps even to obtain this first serial victory of cuts. In this way, he would make his racing talent shine through and above all. After all, the character alone is not worth much if not supported by performance on the right track.
