Hocevar’s not the first young driver with rough edges—but will he smooth ‘em out? 🤷‍♂️

what he did against Zayn Smith though on Sunday. Fair foul. It was an accident. He he got loose. Like I get that he gets this bad rap, but this isn’t the same as Let’s just say, “Hey, sorry about that. I up instead of saying take a number.” It’s what got Joey Logano destroyed at Martinsville. Eventually, you grow up. That’s partly what’s made Joey Logano who Joey Logano is nowadays. Messed up. Rex Zay Smith and Zay Smith crew chief comes after him. Without a doubt, 100%. He did not purposely hit Zay Smith. your social media post. It’s good for clicks, bad for results. And I think he’s after the clicks right now. I think that’s fine. Of course you do. You’re not on the team. You’re going to pay at the most inopportune time. But if he’s racing for a win and you’re racing next to him, you’re not just going to clean him out. But I’m going to put him in a in a hell of a spot. You’re probably going to do that anyway, though. You’re going to do it anyways. You’ve seen how you race Larson. Like, you’re going to race hard. We keep telling him like, “Oh, he’s got to shape up.” And he’s said it multiple times over. I’m trying to clean up the edges. But at some point, just your edges are rough and that’s just who you are. Brad Kazowski went through this. Joey Logano went through this. They wised up to what it takes to be successful long term in the series. I tell you what though, if Carson has Brad or Joey’s career, he he did a solid job for himself. But he hasn’t. Not yet.
