Carson Hocevar Provides a Crucial Update for Worried Fans After Terrifying Accident at the World Wide Technology Raceway

Earlier, Truck Series driver Carson Hocevar endured the wildest ride of his life. The #42 driver got hit on the rear end of his truck during the race and spun. Fortunately, he avoided hitting the barriers, but little did he know that the danger was not over. A couple of other racers happened to run smack into his own Truck and he was pin-balled around.

The incident occurred on the final lap of the race and he came away with an injured ankle. Now, the driver has taken to social media to provide an important update on his health, to the relief of fans.

He wrote, “I am okay and alert. Possibly more info tomorrow. Please respect the privacy of it as I process it all and try to understand my own situation, thank you.”
