Carson Hocevar Should Run Better at Darlington Than the Numbers Predict
Although Carson Hocevar hasn't posted a good finish at Darlington yet, Sunday's Southern 500 could provide him such an opportunity. Hocevar had speed when he qualified second for last year's Southern 500, although he quickly faded and earned no stage points before crashing out. Despite his general increase in speed, he had his worst qualifying position ever at the track on Sunday (26th) and he was surprisingly outqualified by both of his teammates. The track might be a poor fit for Hocevar at the moment since he is not really known as a finesse driver. On the other hand, he is young enough that he has the potential to significantly improve at any track and no one would be surprised. Given his inconsistency and poor luck this year, Hocevar is a risky pick, but given his talent level, poor qualifying, and cheap salary, it might be a pick worth taking.
