After Back-to-Back Top Five Runs, Carson Hocevar Could Easily Lead Today

It's Unclear Whether Josh Berry's 1.5-Mile Oval Speed Will Transfer to Michigan, but It Looks Likely
June 8, 2025
Despite pissing off everyone when he wrecked Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. last week at Nashville, Carson Hocevar has been on a roll. After his first pole at Texas, he blew an engine while battling for the lead at the Coca-Cola 600 after starting 39th, then drove up from 26th to 2nd at Nashville, earning his second second-place finish of the season. It now seems likely that Hocevar will win sooner than later, and his 14th-place starting position today is a better than average start for him. Although his performance last year isn't entirely relevant since Hocevar's been so much faster this year, he did get a top ten in last year's Michigan race, so it seems likely he will do so again unless he crashes. Since he's likely to run better than expected as usual, don't be surprised if he leads today. He definitely has a lot of DFS value even qualifying as well as he did.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
