Carson Hocevar surprised after losing control in late-race Daytona crash
It was another tough finish for Carson Hocevar at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Saturday.
Carson Hocevar experienced a surprising late-race crash at Daytona, losing control of his No. 77 vehicle while attempting to pass Ryan Preece. The incident resulted in Hocevar hitting the wall and Erik Jones being caught in the chaos as he collided with Hocevar. Hocevar expressed confusion about the cause of his loss of control, noting that the car has more lift and requires tighter entry and exits.
Despite the mishap, Hocevar described the package as "fine" and found the experience enjoyable. He also mentioned that the package felt more difficult due to the focus on dirty air. In the points standings, Hocevar was previously as high as third but finished worse than 30th in the last four races, including his 38th at Daytona.
Although he remains in the Chase, his starting position for the postseason has dropped to 12th out of 16 title contenders.
