Carson Hocevar doesn’t have the best rapport with his fellow NASCAR drivers, but he isn’t left all alone with no defense. While he runs in a complete attack mode on the track, his fans are there to defend him on social media. It is hard to argue. Hocevar has been the center of quite a few wrecks in the past year and a half. But is he the only driver on the field who has been causing wrecks?

Carson Hocevar and his aggressive driving

NASCAR drivers were recently questioned on who wrecks the most on the track. Many, including the likes of Kyle Busch, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Larson, took Hocevar’s name in almost unison.

If there is one thing that defines Hocevar, it is his aggressive driving. He is the last driver on the field to wait for the opening of a potential gap to overtake. If there isn’t one, he creates it, running bumper-to-bumper. Just this year in Atlanta, he was responsible for the final stage wrecks, a story that has been on repeat for a long time.

But Hocevar has a strong response to his critics: “Well, just get the f*ck out of the way! And there wouldn’t be a wreck. You know what I mean? Just move. Just move out of the way.”

Fellow driver Ryan Blaney also appreciated him earlier this year, claiming that Hocevar could start winning races once he finds out the thin line between aggressive driving and wrecking.

For now, however, it seems that Hocevar will have to stick to his fans for all the defense that he needs. While he has been outspoken about his aggressive driving, the fans have some other points, too.

Fans point out other NASCAR drivers’ irregularities

“80% of the hypocrites in the video who said Hocevar have already caused twice as many wrecks as Hocevar himself,” claimed a fan. This comment, more or less, carried the sentiment of most fans, as there were some drivers in the video that NASCAR posted who don’t have the cleanest of records when it comes to clean racing. “Wrecky calling someone out for wrecking people is golden,” read another comment.

Some also pointed out the recent race at the Martinsville Speedway, where the only major wreck was caused by another driver, and not Carson Hocevar, calling this an “interesting” time to post the video.

“Interesting timing for you to post this, considering what happened at Martinsville. Hocevar does spin a lot of people, but most of those are typically done off being a chaotic neutral rather than with negative intent like the driver in the 23 does when he wrecks others.”

Some of the other comments mentioned this, too: “They better start looking at their garage pull buddy, Bubba Wallace.”

This has been the trend around NASCAR for quite a while now. Hocevar’s driving may be questionable, but he’s not the only driver who does that (as another comment mentioned: “Stenhouse and Ty Dillon answering this question is incredibly ironic.”)

But again, that is the one quality through which Hocevar manages to outperform his competition. While he is yet to win a race in the Cup Series, he has proved to be promising, and if Spire were to fix their pace issues, he might as well start contending for the title in the future.
