23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace had a chance to finish in the top 20 in Sunday’s Cook Out 400, which would have kept him at least in the top seven in the NASCAR standings entering the break. Instead, he got involved with Carson Hocevar in a decision that ruined his day and cost the No. 23 team.

Recaping the race on Monday’s episode of Action Detrimental, driver and 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin noted Wallace’s costly action against Hocevar in the final stages.

“I understand that Bubba wrecked himself trying to get Carson off the road. He didn’t give up, kept driving out there and ultimately wrecked himself and others because of it. That’s what I believe.”

On a restart with 77 laps to go in the Cook Out 400, Hocevar made an aggressive move by going under Wallace in the corner to make it three-wide. The No. 23 driver, who felt his car was performing poorly after showing a lot of pace in practice, seemed to be upset by the move.

On the next lap, Wallace passed his car to the No. 77 and then passed him again into the corner. Hocevar’s car spun, taking out other cars along with it, while the No. 23 car suffered damage late in the race, resulting in a 36th-place finish.

Hamlin also addressed Hocevar’s actions leading up to the incident, which is not uncommon in NASCAR, but is generally viewed as a ‘d***’ move.

“It’s normally an ad*** move, if everybody is restarting in Turn 1 on the restart, everybody has to check for the corner, OK? If you’re in row 8, you’re normally checking for turn 1 as quickly as possible. It’s like going into Turn 1 at COTA where someone is just like, ‘Okay, I’m just going to the left and if you guys are going to check-up, I Going to jam it in there. Carson says I’m going to go three-wide again down the stretch in Martinsville. This is not illegal, it is just an ad*** move.”

That doesn’t mean Hamlin condoned Wallace’s actions, which cost the No. 23 team double-digit points and dropped to 11th in points. Instead, it is the future Hall of Famer who explains the specific move that further incensed Wallace and why Hocevar’s move was responded to with hostile action.

Hocevar has driven like this since coming to the Cup Series, and he has made it clear that he is willing to do anything to win. Wallace, at age 32, is an experienced driver whose emotions ultimately only hurt himself and harmed teammates who were not involved in the incident.

虽然本周末在达灵顿赛道举行的 NASCAR 赛程中不会有规定的“回归周末”，但会有一些车手和车队用他们的涂装方案向一些传奇人物和偶像致敬。其中包括卡森·霍切瓦 (Carson Hocevar)，他的 Spire Motorsports 车队向历史上最伟大的车手戴尔·恩哈特 (Dale Earnhardt) 致敬，这位年轻的车手经常被拿来与他进行比较。

在接受 NASCAR YouTuber Eric Estepp 采访时，Hocevar 谈到了其他人将他与传奇车手 Dale Earnhardt 进行的比较。

“我在这里说实话，我不喜欢这种比较。显然，我很欣赏它，但我不知道……我觉得我们现在可能应该赢得一场比赛……但是，只是因为我时不时地遇到人们，现在我到处开着一辆黑色汽车，我真的不明白……没有人是下一个戴尔……我只想成为我，这要容易得多……我很想拥有戴尔所取得的1%的成功。我不喜欢任何比较。”

卡森·霍切瓦尔 (Carson Hocevar) 与戴尔·恩哈特 (Dale Earnhardt) 的比较

正如霍切瓦尔告诉埃斯特普的那样，他从小就是一名铁杆赛车迷，他观看了各种有关戴尔·恩哈特的纪录片。他知道这位 3 号赛车的标志性车手对 NASCAR 的历史有多大的意义，也知道他对那个时代数百万车迷的意义有多大。最终，霍切瓦尔认为这种比较对恩哈特来说是一种伤害，对他想要自己建立的遗产也不公平。

就在他站在 77 号辣椒赞助赛车旁的照片发布几天后，这位 23 岁的年轻人意识到自己说这句话有些讽刺。蓝黄相间的涂装方案类似于 1981 年 2 号赛车所使用的方案，在那个赛季，恩哈特以使用牧马人颜色而闻名，随后以该品牌作为主要赞助商赢得了数十场比赛。然而，霍切瓦尔承认，这一切的背后很大程度上是营销团队在幕后黑手。

胡切瓦与恩哈特的比较来自一些历史上的伟人，这并没有什么帮助。今年早些时候 小比赛回顾传奇人物理查德·佩蒂表示，他看到了两位车手之间的一些相似之处。

“男孩，那个 77 号球衣（霍切瓦尔）。……现在，他所做的很多事情并没有那么错误。如果我回去看他跑步之类的事情，他让我想起了戴尔·恩哈特。恩哈特学会了如何应对这些事情。而穿着 77 号球衣的男孩，他只需要学会如何应对他正在做的事情。”

对于霍切瓦尔来说，在几次接近胜利后，重点仍然是实现杯赛系列赛的首场胜利。他明确表示，他不会改变自己的驾驶风格，也不是为了与其他 NASCAR 车手交朋友。如果获胜让他成为球迷的最爱，而不是同龄人的最爱，那么他会非常乐意接受这个结果。

Although there will be no mandatory “Throwback Weekend” as part of the NASCAR schedule at Darlington Raceway this weekend, some drivers and teams will pay tribute to some legends and icons with their paint schemes. This also includes Carson Hocevar, with his team Spire Motorsports paying tribute to all-time great Dale Earnhardt – to whom the young driver has been constantly compared.

In an interview with NASCAR YouTuber Eric Estep, Hocevar talked about some others comparing him to legendary driver Dale Earnhardt.

“I’ll be honest here, I don’t like the comparisons. I appreciate it, obviously, but I don’t know… I think we probably should have won a race now… But, just because I meet people every now and again and now I’m racing a black car here and there, I don’t really see it… There’s no next Dale… I just want to be me, it’s that easy… I’d love to have 1 percent of Dale’s success. I’d love any comparisons. It is not.”

Carson Hocevar on comparisons to Dale Earnhardt

As Hocevar told Estep, he grew up as a die-hard racing fan, and watched the various documentaries that came out about Dale Earnhardt. He knows how much the iconic driver of the No. 3 car means to NASCAR history and how much he meant to millions of fans during that era. Ultimately, Hocevar feels the comparison is a disservice to Earnhardt and unfair to the legacy he wants to build on his own.

The 23-year-old recognized his irony just days after the release of photos showing him standing near the No. 77 Chiles-sponsored car. The blue and yellow paint scheme resembles the one used for the No. 2 car in 1981, a season where Earnhardt famously sported Wrangler colors before winning dozens of races with the brand as his primary sponsor. However, Hocevar admitted that the marketing team was largely behind all this.

It doesn’t help that Hocevar and Earnhardt have been compared to some of the all-time greats. earlier this year patty race recapVeteran Richard Petty said he noticed some similarities between the two drivers.

“The boy, that 77 (Hocevar). …Right now, a lot of the things he’s doing or is doing aren’t really that wrong. If I go back and watch him race and do stuff, he reminds me of Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt has learned to work with that stuff. And the 77 boy, he just has to learn to work with the things he’s doing.”

For Hocevar, the focus is still on scoring his first Cup Series win after coming close on a few occasions. He has made it clear that he is not changing his driving style, nor does he want to make friends with other NASCAR drivers. If winning makes him a favorite among fans and less so among his teammates, he’s more than happy to take that result.

即使上周末在亚特兰大举行的 NASCAR 杯系列赛 Autotrader 400 中取得了戏剧性的成绩，卡森·霍切瓦也没有因为其他车手或媒体的批评而失眠。

霍切瓦在最后几圈的驾驶确实引起了很多关注和抱怨，因为他的攻击性很强。一些关键时刻包括在重新开始后试图挤在布巴·华莱士和克里斯托弗·贝尔之间，最终导致贝尔撞到墙上，然后是由于他与瑞安·布莱尼的接触而导致的早期旋转。事后，霍切瓦尔承认他基本上“像在电子游戏中一样驾驶”，并且他相信下一代汽车可以承受这种攻击。

丹尼·哈姆林（Denny Hamlin）在他的《Actions Detractical》播客中迅速提出了批评，质疑霍切瓦尔是否只是想表演，或者只是鲁莽。他称自己的其中一项操作“愚蠢”，并警告说，如果他总是这样驾驶，可能会破坏赛道上车手之间的信任。他说，“他会处于这样一种境地：他认为自己即将获胜，但有人会认为他不会获胜，这会造成伤害。”

卡森·霍切瓦回应批评者

尽管受到批评，霍切瓦尔却无动于衷。他在 Jeff Glock 播客上说道，“我不会一边开车一边说，‘啊，你知道，我想多卖一些 T 恤……我要把这个洞裂开，或者我要采取这个行动，是的，他们会谈论这个，然后在采访中……剪一段 WWE 宣传片。’”就像其他的都是噪音，有时我会嘲笑它……我只是看着它然后走，你知道，这只是娱乐。”他强调，他不关注播客或评论，只专注于尽可能快地比赛。

这种心态以及霍切瓦尔将自己从外界闲聊中排除出来的方式可以在精神上为他提供很好的帮助。但纳斯卡的历史表明，车手很少能逃脱车库的长期记忆。

自 2022 年推出下一代汽车以来，亚特兰大重新设计的路面已开始产生我们过去在代托纳或塔拉迪加看到的群体式赛车。事实上，这些汽车采用对称车身和高科技复合材料制成，这意味着当您确实发生接触时，它们会更加宽容，这可能会帮助驾驶员进一步突破极限。

霍切瓦对赛车的心态确实说明了年轻一代是在模拟赛车以及随之而来的所有高强度重新开始中长大的。当他说赛车就像一场“电子游戏”时，这并非偶然。这充分说明了现代赛车心理，其中计算风险如今已变得正常化。

但这里有一条真正的界限。侵略性可以赢得比赛。过度侵略可能会让盟友付出代价。在 NASCAR 中，如果你想获胜，盟友就很重要。
