Texas Recap: Carson Hocevar was able to capture his elusive first-win last Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway. The 20-year old driver ran outside the top-15 for most of the 250-mile race, but was able to make his way to the front of the field, to secure a spot in the Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs. 

Hocevar on Texas: “My first win has been looming over me and my Worldwide Express team for so long, and it’s so nice to finally say I’m a NASCAR winner. All the people at Niece Motorsports have believed in me since Day One and I’m so fortunate to live out my dreams.”

Hocevar at Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt: In two starts at the Bristol Dirt track, Hocevar has an average finish of 11.5, including a runner-up finish a year ago. 

Hocevar on Saturday’s Race at Bristol Dirt: “I love when we get to go dirt racing in the Truck Series. Obviously, dirt racing is a big passion of mine which helps my confidence going into races like this. Last year, we were able to finish second and hopefully this year we can finish one better.”
