Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar Say Bristol Is Behind Them
Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar say their Bristol fight has not carried over. Hocevar even helped Blaney look for a Ferrari and showed up at his bus in one.
Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar said their on-track altercation at Bristol Motor Speedway did not evolve into a feud. Hocevar recounted how he attempted to assist Blaney by connecting him with Zeigler Auto Group, a sponsor of his team, to secure a Ferrari. Hocevar even visited Blaney's bus in a Ferrari after the incident to show his support.
Blaney acknowledged this gesture but clarified he did not purchase the car. Despite their disagreement at the event, both drivers emphasized that their rivalry on pit road did not affect their on-track performance, and they have even raced each other more effectively since the incident. In the upcoming Talladega Superspeedway race, Blaney will start 27th, while Hocevar will start 26th, according to MotorBiscuit's qualifying report.
Currently, Blaney is fifth in the Chase standings, 40 points behind Kyle Larson, while Hocevar, who won at Talladega in April, is 11th, 158 points behind.
