Carson Hocevar Rallies to Finish Fourth at Darlington
Carson Hocevar placed fourth in Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after a hard-fought race where he started from the rear of the field. Hocevar was originally slated to start 16th, but his team made unapproved adjustments before the race that forced him to start last per the NASCAR rulebook. The No. 77 Chevrolet driver spent the entire race making up for starting in the back of the pack. By the end of the first stage, Hocevar made it up to 24th but was a lap down and did not score any stage points. Hocevar returned to the lead lap by using the wave around and continued to get closer to the front. At the end of the second stage, Hocevar finished 16th and failed to earn stage points. In the final stage, Hocevar continued to gain positions, and on the final green flag run, he went to pit road for his final stop later than most drivers, giving himself a tire advantage for the end of the race. Using this tire advantage, Hocevar went from 12th all the way to fourth by the end of the race, obtaining his first top-5 finish at Darlington. After six races, Hocevar is now 13th in the regular-season standings.
