Among all the developments in NASCAR over the years, technological advancements have contributed the most. This aspect of the sport has truly been game-changing, from spotting winners of close-call finishes to analyzing SMT data. The younger generation of drivers has had a great affinity towards intersecting cutting-edge tech and stock car racing. One among them is the latest Spire Motorsports recruit, Carson Hocevar. The 20-year-old former Truck Series driver has been featured in the Legacy Motor Club car from time to time.
In recent news, Hocevar has tried to get a closer view of his driving with his phone tied to his helmet. Adding another perspective to the discussion, he wondered about the possibility of streaming his experience to the fans. Following the revelation in a post on Twitter, NASCAR fans raved about Carson Hocevar’s wonderful idea.

Streaming platform Twitch has been a source for multiple forms of entertainment. Majorly dominated by gamers worldwide, iRacing has added a new dimension to the racing culture. Carson Hocevar is also a part of the upcoming generation of drivers that have shown a tech-savvy approach to the sport. Using Twitch to illustrate his view of the racetrack through a live stream, the youngster amazed the fans with the initiative.
The video starts with Hocevar warming his tires in off-season practice. He continues to get around the track as he shows the point of view of a race car driver. One of the many hindrances was the sunlight incident on the car when exiting corners. However, adapting to it comes with practice. If you want to tune in to Hocevar’s adventures on the track, he also dropped his Twitch profile link in the post.
Hocevar’s innovative use of a phone camera has also ignited questions about his choice within the fanbase. While some have directed him to use a GoPro for better results and a clearer stream, some have asked NASCAR to take a cue and do something similar for the fans.

GoPro has been used to create and store multiple sporting activities, including extreme sports like mountain biking, skiing, and diving. A helmet view of all the drivers would be great for continuously streaming on any platform. It looks like NASCAR might have to pay closer attention to what’s brewing in the fandom.
