Despite the race ending under caution in the second overtime, Hocevar was able to secure his second top-10 finish of the season with an eighth-place result.Hocevar on his second top-10 finish of the season: “Overall, it was a pretty good day for our No. 42 PlainsCapital Bank/MG Machinery Chevrolet Silverado. To be lined up on the front row with less than ten to go put us in a great position, but we kind of got used up at the end and then it became a shoving match the rest of the way. We had really good speed and ran in the top-five most of the day but I wasn’t able to capitalize in the right lanes on the right restarts.”
