Hocevar picked some poitions on that last

I love the announcers - McDowell only got two tires, so it's all his fault.

After all, Chastain's a schoolboy whose never wrecked anyone while doing something stupid before.

Great Avatar

Hocevar made some good moves and had good speed. His improved his resume today.

 

[REBS31]

Not even FOX wanted Kenny Wallace on the air anymore and just ended it all

This race has felt like an extended episode of RaceHub.

The kid can drive.

Brake rotor.

 

[Clutch]

LaJoie made another couple of passes...
attrition

More like high school morning announcements. It just feels flat.

Let's come back on the air...
Let's go to commercial 2 minutes later..

Am I the only one that hates the corny forced excitement from the booth guys? Lol Waltrip is the biggest offender

Soon he’ll be making seats.

I'm pretty sure there is a hater on here somewhere that would agree with ya.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ever heard him on a Truck broadcast? He couldn't be more of a shill if he was being paid directly by NASCAR.

Yeah, I also know a guy who hates the NBC Announcers. So many complainers on here.

 

[BobbyFord]

A lot of teams saw Carson Hocevar today. I expect someone is going to give him a call.

 

[Clutch]

Did LaJoie just find the gas pedal?

I missed it, just woke up being sick af today. But my dad told me he was running really well.

Hope you’re getting well, bud.
IMO, Carson was running extremely well today, for his first time in this car. Brake rotor walled him. I expect he will be back.

24th

 

[Speedbowl14]

Hocevar running 16th in a car that's usually 28th and winning in a truck that's usually 20th. If he isn't in Cup in 2 or 3 years the sport is fundamentally broken.

 

[racingfan7]

I’ve enjoyed the racing. Needs more horsepower with this package.

 

[Naitch]

Can we pump the breaks on the Hocevar love? We might want to watch him put a complete Cup race together before calling him the next big thing.

Tears too many trucks up

Tears too many trucks up

Give it time. When Hocevar gets to Cup, the same people who are praising him will be calling him "too aggressive" and saying he needs to be "more respectful."

 

[aunty dive]

Brake rotor.

Yes. It wouldn’t turn to the left when he tried to go to the garage. The rotor chunk probably did the damage.

I think the real message is that the kid was running midpack Cup in a car he’s never been in.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Hocevar raced yesterday.

That track time helps.

 

[BobbyFord]

Sure. But he complained about no pedal before the wall happened.

 

[Efisher131]

Man I was a big believer in Lajoie. Sure the rest of Hendrick seems off too but they’re all pretty far ahead of him. Then Hocevar takes the 7 and has top 15-20 speed in his very first cup start. I just don’t know man.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kyle damn is cutting into Blaney's lead

 

[Naitch]

Trevor Bayne finished 17th in his first start and won in his second start.

I must have missed his Cup championship celebration.

LaJoie is an Xfin caliber driver.
Field filler in Cup.

rotor went, he hit the wall amd knocked the steering out of it. 33 laps down

 

[AdoubleU24]

Golly jeepers it's almost like track position is a must with this gosh darn car I tell ya. I'm going full mute.

 

[BobbyFord]

8 is fast

 

[nascarwoman]

Didn't plan on working today, but had to cover for a fellow worker.
Judging by the comments, I didn't miss much. Guess I won't watch the part of this race I missed.

 

[BobbyFord]

I wonder where Cindric will be next year…

 

[Speedbowl14]

I told my girlfriend who I got into NASCAR about Lajoie. I said my NASCAR forum had been *insert very inappropriate hand gesture*'ing it's self over him and proclaiming he just needed to be in good equipment and he's running dog**** at least the first half of this thing.
