“Gonna Get Charged Rent” – NASCAR Driver Carson Hocevar Hits Back at Accusations of Unsportsmanlike Conduct

There have been a number of occasions where Truck Series driver Carson Hocevar built himself a reputation. As it turned out, he had a bit of a bad rap for intentionally triggering cautions. So during one Midget car race, cameras spotted him going unusually slowly. It got to a point where a couple of other cars tripped over his own car, and that drew the ire of fans. Some of them called him out for not pulling into the infield and being a general nuisance.

Of course, Hocevar did not appreciate the insinuations and hit back. He said on Twitter, “Actually broke a rocker arm there wise guy, am I gonna get charged rent for being your head this much? Had electrical issues on prelim, thought we fixed it but died under certain RPM. thought was same issue, get push and it would fire again. But then found rocker arm was issue. Done some stupid things, no question on that, but if you’re gonna make a joke or dig, make it accurate“

Why does Carson Hocevar have this kind of notoriety?

Whether Hocevar genuinely had issues or he stopped deliberately, is up for debate. However, such situations have occurred before, and he was even caught once. That was during the 2021 Truck race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he got black-flagged. To make matters worse, he was one of 8 Playoff contenders, so it was all the more gutting. The incident took place with 10 laps remaining in the race, and Carson Hocevar came under the scanner for it.

Apparently, he radioed his team to report a vibration and was on his way to pit road. Then, for some inexplicable reason, when he got on the apron, he appeared to lose control and spun his truck.

This brought out a yellow flag, meaning that he did not lose much time on the pit road with the vibration. Of course, NASCAR officials were unimpressed with the stunt and disqualified him.
