NASCAR Truck Series driver Carson Hocevar recently suffered a massive wreck in Gateway. This resulted in him having to undergo surgery on his right tibia, leading to many fans worrying about when he’ll be back in action.

But less than a week later, Hocevar was cleared for practice at the Sonoma Truck weekend. The young driver also posted a picture of him on Instagram with a reassuring message for his fans.

“It’s like I never left,” he wrote in the caption.

And it was in that picture that American motorsports competitor and professional stunt performer, Travis Pastrana, commented a message of strength and reassurance for Hocevar.

“Legend! Hope it went well today and they let you out on the track to show the world what a bad a** you are and how much racing means to you. Good luck to you buddy,” Pastrana wrote.

He revealed that he was “more focused” on himself while he was helplessly lying in Michigan. Hocevar described how he let NASCAR and his team’s PR handle the situation.

“They still didn’t know and they were holding information even from me just not to psych me out. I didn’t really wanna know at all, and they’re more so taking it day by day now,” he said.

As for what the plan for the race in Sonoma is, Hocevar made it clear.
