Comeback stories are inspirational, motivating, and tug the heartstrings. Everyone loves a good comeback story; NASCAR does too. Not just for the entertainment aspects, but because they make you believe there’s good in the world too. It helps us reinstall the never give up spirit.

Carson Hocevar is a relatively less-known name in the NASCAR community. Maybe those that follow the ARCA Menards Series or the Truck Series might have heard of the 19-year-old.
Hocevar competes in the Truck Series primarily for Niece Motorsports. The Portage, Michigan-born driver is still learning and developing as a professional, elite stock car driver.
Carson Hocevar and his girlfriend faced a tragedy
However, only a little while back, a tragedy shook him. Tragedy at any age is difficult to handle, but at such a young age, it can be devastating. His girlfriend, Peyton Lanphear, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. This form of cancer affects the lymph nodes and the body’s ability to ward off infections.
Undoubtedly, this must have taken a huge toll on the couple. Fortunately, though, the driver gave some great news through his official Twitter handle.
