$50,000 Lighter, Carson Hocevar Publicly Trashed by Cup Star’s Livid Wife Amidst New Controversial Detail
Everybody was astonished when the No. 77 car made an unwarranted dash at the No. 21. After the caution flag flew on lap 242, it looked like Carson Hocevar was settling a personal score with Harrison Burton. The Spire Motorsports rookie right-hooked into Burton, making him spin. “I’m f***ing over. I’m done with it. He just wrecked me under caution because I blocked him on the backstretch. He can kiss my a**,” fumed Burton on his radio. Now, in a newer update, it seems like Hocevar unleashed his temper earlier as well.
A viewer shared a revealing video on X. They tweeted, “Todd Gilliland & Carson Hocevar during the 2024 Ally 400 @ Nashville, this happened during the caution before Hocevar dumped Burton.” Todd Gilliland’s in-car camera filmed Carson Hocevar shoving from the left, bumping the No.38 several times. Ultimately, Hocevar aggressively overtook Gilliland.
This revelation prompted an infuriated response from the victim’s better half. Todd Gilliland’s wife Marissa viciously shot a question about Carson Hocevar, citing his overall rowdy attitude in Nashville. “And here’s more. For real wtf is wrong with this guy.” Marissa Gilliland’s reaction is very well justified looking at the footage, and she is definitely not alone in her scathing criticism of Carson Hocevar. Her husband said his piece, too.
Shortly after Hocevar aggressively overtook him, Gilliland watched the No.77 driver wreck Harrison Burton. As soon as that happened, the FRM driver exclaimed on the radio, “I hate this kid. Honestly, I hate him.” Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin joined in on the reprimanding as well. On the Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin demanded NASCAR punish the rookie financially.
“I’m gonna call on NASCAR here. They need to do something to Carson,” the No.11 driver said. “They don’t need to suspend him or anything like that, but they need to dig into his pocket a little bit. And we’ve seen this happen when he was in the Truck Series.” Hamlin was referring to how, during the Martinsville race last year in the Truck Series, the 21-year-old deliberately tried to wreck Taylor Gray. Subsequently, in the season finale, when Corey Heim was in contention for the title, Hocevar spun him out.
Looking at his track record, the executives took action accordingly, as Hamlin suggested. That said, reflecting on Hocevar’s feuds with multiple rivals besides himself, Harrison Burton said, “I don’t know, he blocks everyone every week and I blocked him once and he decided to try and wreck me under yellow. So, I don’t know. He’s on a lot of people’s lists as guys they don’t like racing. So, it kind of shows you why.”
