Carson Hocevar Qualifies Poorly But Should Deliver Another Solid Finish
3 weeks agoCarson Hocevar looks poised to win the NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year battle even though Josh Berry has had a faster car mainly because Berry has been the most crash-prone driver on the circuit while Hocevar has been surprisingly clean. He has been delivering consistent finishes with clocklike regularity as he has only finished outside the top 20 twice in the last 13 races, but that streak may come into jeopardy at Watkins Glen, where he starts 29th behind both his teammates Corey LaJoie and Zane Smith. Although Hocevar has finished all three of his road course races this year, his average finish on road courses of 21 is slightly worse than his overall average of 18.7. However, his average running positions tended to be commensurate with his other performances, so expect his usual 15th-20th place finish.
