“Criminal Record!” Ryan Blaney’s Wife Makes Wild Carson Hocevar Accusation After Bristol Fight

The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway witnessed some wild moments, with the most controversial of them being the fight between Carson Hocevar and Ryan Balney. Punches were thrown after the No:12 Ford Mustang driver confronted the No:77 Chevy driver owing to an egregious stage three wreck.

The Team Penske drivers’ wife Gianna Tulio was clearly frustrated with the incident and didn’t hessite to call out the young driver. In two different comments, she accused the young Spire driver of having a criminal history that got paid off to be a secret. There is no public records available to validate these claims.

Not surprised by the #77 aggressive behavior with the criminal record he has…Wait, I forgot most of you don’t know about it because he got it paid off!! Oops allegedly

Gianna Tulio wrote on Instagram as reported by Yahoo Sports.

Joey Logano, whose win got overshadowed by the Carson Hocevar’s fight with Ryan Blaney also shared his thoughts about the incident. He didn’t speak much about the incident as he needed to get more information about what really happened, but at the of the day fights are nothing new for the three times champion.

Yeah, again, I don’t know the details of what happened there and how and why. I don’t feel comfortable speaking on it until I see anything. I’d probably say something I regret if I haven’t seen it. Like I said, I’m sure I’ll see it. They’ll probably forget who won the race (laughing).

Joey Logano said post-race.

Dale Jarrett shares his feelings on Carson Hocevar standing his ground

One thing the majority of the NASCAR community agrees with Hocevar after the fight is the fact that the fight proved the youngster is capable of standing his ground. This attribute is something the majority of the drivers in the current garage doesn’t have, according to Hall of Famer Dale Jarett.

I think he has shown that this is how he’s going to race. You take a chance whenever you try to make a block on that young man, and that driver, who is very aggressive, doesn’t mind being that and he stuck with that … something that we haven’t seen until this moment right here, and that he is willing to stand his ground. 

Dale Jarrett said.

Further talking about the point, the veteran asserted that how Hocevar won’t be back down when someone come to his face with the intention to start a fight. The youngster doesn’t care the reputation of the driver ahead of him and that’s unique in the current crop of racers.

If you’re wanting to get physical about this and have something to say and start pushing around, he’s going to be there. And look like he’s willing to take on all comers whenever that happens.

Dale Jarrett added.

The comments from the legendary racer are on point and shows how this personality is the factor that makes the youngster more famous than his veteran counter parts. It would be interesting to see how everything is going to playout for the star drivers in the coming days over the drama.
