Overview

• Stenhouse and Hocevar made contact on lap 90 at Mexico City’s inaugural Cup Series race, spinning Stenhouse out just weeks after a similar crash at Nashville Superspeedway.
• After the checkered flag, Stenhouse marched to Hocevar’s car and warned, “I’m going to beat your ass when we get back in the States.”
• Hocevar issued apologies for both incidents, blaming the Mexico City collision on locking up his brakes in the marbles during what he called a “really sloppy day.”
• NASCAR has not disciplined Hocevar for the repeated collisions despite criticism from drivers and fans seeking stricter penalties on aggressive driving.
• With Stenhouse fighting for a playoff spot, the unresolved rivalry is set to loom over next weekend’s race at Pocono Raceway.
