Overview

  • On SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Hocevar acknowledged he misjudged his move at Nashville Superspeedway and reached out to Stenhouse Jr. to clear the air ahead of Michigan.
  • At Berlin Raceway, Hocevar powered to his third career victory in the UARA Money in the Bank 150 super late model event, earning $15,000 in prize money.
  • Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson praised Hocevar’s raw pace but urged him to “round out a couple of the edges” to avoid unnecessary on-track conflicts.
  • Kevin Harvick warned that repeated aggressive maneuvers against top-five competitors could invite political pushback, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. compared Hocevar’s bold driving to his father’s style.
  • Despite the apology, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. remains uneasy about the Nashville wreck and, as Denny Hamlin predicted, could seek on-track retaliation in the coming weeks.
