Merely, weeks after the career-defining turn, the 20-year-old is going full steam ahead featuring his own team in the world of Pro-Late model racing and bagging a competent driver for his newly minted Carson Hocevar Racing.

Third-generation racer, Chase Pinsonneault will be in the team for its 2024 campaign in the CHR patterned Pro Late model, trying his luck across the Midwest and Southeastern parts of the country as he looks to expand his horizons to Super-late model racing later in the season.

In the detailed statement tweeted out by Hocevar, Pinsonneault shared his delight, saying, “Having this chance to continue my progression as a driver is an amazing opportunity. The fact that Carson (Hocevar) and his team see potential in me is a huge confidence booster. I’ve got to work with them a little already in testing and it really does feel like they’ve built a program strong enough to succeed anywhere we go.”
