The Carson Hocevar<\/a> experience has been a rollercoaster ride in 2025, and the wheels came off again at Charlotte on Sunday.
<\/p>\n \nThe 22-year-old Hocevar has been at the center of a ton of NASCAR<\/a> beef this season, riling up a string of drivers on the Cup Series<\/a> grid and beyond.
<\/p>\n \nMany fans see the Portage, Michigan native as a great addition for the sport with his IDGAF attitude, allied to a fair amount of talent. Nobody can deny he is box office.
<\/p>\n \nBut Hocevar was in the headlines once again for the wrong reasons at the Bank of America Roval 400, being at least partly to blame for two high-profile incidents.

<\/p>\n Hocevar tangles with Kyle Busch and Cindric<\/p>\n \nHocevar started his day in \u2018style\u2019 on the very first lap of the day, making contact with two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch<\/a> and sending him into the wall. Race effectively over for Busch.
<\/p>\n \nIf that was not enough, Hocevar later made an impact on the Cup Series playoff race, ending the hopes of Team Penske star Austin Cindric<\/a>. He made contact with Cindric during the second stage, resulting in damage that would cost Austin any chance of advancing.
<\/p>\n \nPretty rough day at the office for Carson then, but we can never accuse the phenom they now call \u2018Hurricane\u2019 of taking himself too seriously.
<\/p>\n \nOne of the things fans love about him is the ability to be self-deprecating, to take a shot at himself. He did it again in the aftermath of Sunday\u2019s chaos in Charlotte.
<\/p>\n Hocevar makes brutal admission<\/p>\n \nNASCAR posted a video of Hocevar, pre-race, playing the NASCAR 25 video game from a seat in the stands at the Roval – with the footage being beamed onto the big screen in the center of the track.
<\/p>\n \nHocevar, as only he can, provided the perfect response on his social media feeds, answering brutally: \u201cI should\u2019ve went home after this lol\u201d.
<\/p>\n \nThis is not the first time Hocevar has been refreshingly real about his transgressions on track. Back in August he \u2018apologized\u2019 for a series of wrecks in a Truck Series race he was not even driving in!<\/a>
<\/p>\n \nAnyhow, we can add Kyle Busch and Austin Cindric to the list of drivers who regretted tangling with Hocevar in 2025. An ever growing list.
