Carson Hocevar on if he has any friends at the NASCAR level<\/p>\n
Related:\u00a0NASCAR standings, see where\u00a0Carson Hocevar sits<\/a><\/p>\n Carson Hocevar stats (NASCAR.com<\/a>): 368 points, 4 top 10s, 2 top 5s, 1 pole, 5 DNFs, 72 laps led, 22.526 average finishing position in 19 races<\/p>\n Hocevar was\u00a0honest about\u00a0\u201cnot really talking\u00a0to anybody\u201d and\u00a0rarely interacting\u00a0with others, even\u00a0when he\u2019s at\u00a0the track. He\u00a0doesn\u2019t go out, he doesn\u2019t drink, and he rarely\u00a0interacts with\u00a0fellow drivers\u00a0on the entry\u00a0stage.<\/p>\n While it could be argued that the 22-year-old has plenty of time to create friendships at the Truck Series level, Hocevar stated that he really didn\u2019t have any friendships in the Truck Series, nor when he was racing short track. Instead, his friend group is comprised of his iRacing buddies.<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0NASCAR predictions for final races,\u00a0including a Carson Hocevar win<\/a><\/p>\n He does, however, have a very close relationship with his friends from iRacing and is building a property where they can all hang out more regularly. Outside of that, though, making friendships in the Cup Series doesn\u2019t seem likely to happen anytime soon.<\/p>\n It\u2019s certainly the kind of approach that some fans will love, with Hocevar\u2019s passion for racing and his hard-line approach to having no friends on the track reflecting his style of driving. However, other drivers will likely see it as another reason why he drives overaggressively, at times not treating other drivers with the respect that might come from good relationships.<\/p>\n
