Carson Hocevar had a notable run at Bristol in the No. 42, finishing P11. Hocevar says that runs like this are only making the 42 crew better.

This kid has a future in Cup.
Kaulig should’ve jumped on the opportunity to sign Carson next year. He is performing great in the next gen Camaro.
I agree.
Part of me feels like it may be a bit too early to throw Carson in a full-time Cup car with only three truck wins. But then again, if I had to choose between Hocevar and Hemric, I think Hocevar would potentially be the better option. I mean, Hemric did get the Xfinity Championship, so I can’t say he’s a terrible driver. Xfinity is a tough series. I still think Hocevar would be the better option.
@JBAlt it’s not early at all. don’t even say that and i would delete your comment. look at all his starts and how he has performed, he’s outdone noah gragson, harrison burton and many other xfinity drivers who came to cup
@Adrian No, I’m not deleting my comment because it’s a fair statement. You can disagree, I’m OK with that. & you should be OK with others having differing opinions from your own.
He doesn’t bring funding that’s the problem and they are only looking to pay drivers
Keep him in that seat he may pass Dillon in points by Phoenix
Unfortunately he’s no eligible to earn points in Cup. Would be curious where he’d be though.
@Jacob Headhe can pass in owners points
I grew up watching him at Berlin Raceway which is the track he grew up and raced at. So happy to see him racing in the top divisions of NASCAR and hope he makes it to full time in cup soon
Some Cup team better sign this kid quick.
Spire already has They just haven’t announced it
Jimmie better get working on extending him for the rest of the season. He’s far exceeding expectations in the Legacy 42, might as well finish out the year with them!
He deserves to be in better equipment instead of wasting his talent at LMC
@StevenP727 he’s not wasting his talent when he knows how to outperform a car. noah gragson never finished that car in P11 and Carson did it yesterday. If Carson was in hendrick, he would be a top 15 candidate every Sunday.
He’s in the car for the next two weeks. I don’t think Jimmies making too many decisions like that right now when he is in the uk i think ceo is
A really likeable young man
Sign this guy up.
Only driver to be able to successfully run the 42 car.
It must just fit his driving style really well because the difference between his performance and Noah’s is absolutely bonkers. Could not be more night and day.
They say the trucks driver a lot closer to the next gen than the xfinity cars do. This kid is also massively talented
It’s crazy how Noah went from hero in Xfinity to zero in Cup. Night and day difference.
Dude has already shown better results in his couple races in Cup then Gragson did in his half season.
After the driver only broadcast i quickly became a fan of Carson.
If SHR wants any hope, they better be trying to sign this guy
Carson is staying with Chevy
I think that Legacy signed the wrong driver to the 42. Carson is really making strides in this car.
Hocevar has been really impressive, drove up to 5th at one point. Really shows how bad Gragson was in his time in that car.
He’s got a definite future in cup he’s exciting to watch
“Gragson doesn’t suck! It’s the car!”
How the hell do you explain Carson doing better in 4 starts than Gragson did all season in that thing? I only wish he would’ve Heldon to 6th where he was running earlier. Can’t wait to see what he does at spire next year.
Wishing this kid lots of luck next year, wherever he ends up.
Carson is extremely talented, hopefully he gets a competitive cup ride, will be rooting for him for ROTY
Didn’t like him at first but he changed my mind super quick. I’m a fan
