Hocevar's 'Lost Myself' Excuse Angers NASCAR Legends
2 Nov
Summary
- Hocevar allegedly brake-checked Cindric multiple times, causing race-ending damage.
- Dale Jarrett and Jeff Burton criticized Hocevar's 'lost myself' explanation.
- Hocevar also faced accusations of intentionally spinning out earlier in the race.
Carson Hocevar has drawn criticism following an incident where he was seen brake-checking Austin Cindric multiple times, leading to race-ending damage for Cindric's car.
NASCAR veterans Dale Jarrett and Jeff Burton, now analysts, voiced their disapproval of Hocevar's response to the incident. Hocevar suggested he "got lost there for a second" and that they were "just having fun," comments that were deemed unsatisfactory by the former champions.
Burton and Jarrett emphasized the professional responsibility of drivers not to lose control, especially given the potential consequences for fellow competitors. They drew parallels to situations where drivers might alienate others in the racing community due to such actions.
This event followed an earlier accusation that Hocevar intentionally spun out during a caution period. He ultimately finished the race 21st, two laps down, reflecting a difficult day on the track.
