Carson Hocevar Has Speed at Phoenix
8 months agoIn his handful of starts in the NASCAR Cup Series over the last year, Carson Hocevar has seemed to regularly perform better than expected. That is the case once again at Phoenix Raceway this weekend. In practice on Friday, Hocevar went out and posted the 10th-fastest lap after the No. 77 Spire Motorsports team made some adjustments to the Chevrolet during the session. Then, in qualifying on Saturday, Hocevar was one of the five fastest drivers in his group during the first round, advancing to the second and qualifying 10th for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500. Last fall here at Phoenix, Hocevar started 22nd and finished 19th. It looks like he has a good chance at challenging for a teens finish here this weekend--and maybe even a surprise top-10 result if everything goes right.
