Hocevar Penalized for Nashville Incident

Image
  Photo: Justin Seger (Runnin' On Scuffs) NASCAR penalizes Carson Hocevar, driver of the #77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports for violating the NASCAR Member Code of Conduct during Sunday's running of the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.  The penalty comes after an incident between Hocevar and Harrison Burton, driver of the #21 Wood Brother Racing Ford. On lap 242 of Sunday's race, Hocevar deliberately right hooked Burton under caution.  The field had slowed to caution pace after Brad Keselowski spun into the wall after contact with Austin Dillon. Carson Hocevar was fined $50K and docked 25 drivers and owners points by NASCAR.  This penalty is the equivalent to a penalty that William Byron received for getting into Denny Hamlin at Texas Motor Speedway in 2022. Hocevar finished the Ally 400 16th after the race that ended with a record five overtime attempts.  The penalty drops Hocevar from 22nd to 24th in the regular season points standings.  He currently...

Jeff Gordon – The Hendrick Years Written by : Zach Williams   Over the weekend of March 4 th 2023 I got the awesome opportunity to go to one of the most premier auctions and car shows on the East coast. The Amelia, formerly The Amelia Concours d'Elegance, is held annually in Amelia Island, FL. This year the official honoree of the event was none other than Wonder Boy himself, Mr. Jeff Gordon. I attended a seminar on Saturday that was hosted by Ray Evernham and consisted of Jeff Gordon, Steve Letarte and surprise guest Kenny Schrader. The event began with Ray introducing the panel and talking about the three different racing machines they had on display in the room. They consisted of one of the 1994 Lumina cars, one of the 2001 Monte Carlos and Jeff’s 1990 #4 Diet Pepsi dirt midget he won the championship with.   Ray then began to direct the conversation towards when Jeff first began driving for Hendrick Motorsports. Of course, at that point Kenny Schrader had to bri...
