Carson Hocevar has quickly established himself as one of the more aggressive drivers in NASCAR. It seems that there can’t be more than two races before the Spire Motorsports driver gets into trouble with someone in the field. The latest driver to be engulfed in an incident with Hocevar was Zane Smith. Though, the No. 38 driver was not angry on the Spire driver.

At the Iowa Speedway, Smith was having a decent race. The FRM driver was in 23rd place on Lap 229 when the incident took place. Carson Hocevar‘s car got loose and he wrecked the No. 38. This brought an end to what could’ve been a decent outing for Zane Smith and Front Row Motorsports.

Smith seemingly played the blame game with his spotter. The Ford driver demanded his crew to stop giving him orders on-track. According to Zane Smith, every time he followed an instruction from pit road, it ended up in a disaster. The FRM star did not hesitate from using some profane words to his crew. Moreover, the No. 38 driver was even frustrated with the pit crew for not showing his pit sign.

Gotta quit telling me how to f**king drive these things, dude. Every time I poke middle we get f**king wrecked… Like, I don’t know where the f**k this box is.

Zane Smith said on team radio.

Carson Hocevar confronted by Jane Smith’s Crew Chief

Hocevar does not have a good reputation in NASCAR anymore. His beef with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is no secret. The Hyak Motorsports driver has been fed up with Hocevar over multiple incidents. So much so, Stenhouse is even willing to take the Spire Motorsports driver in a charity boxing match.

Frustration over Carson Hocevar’s driving has now reached Front Row Motorsports. With Zane Smith’s Crew Chief Ryan Bergenty confronting the Chevrolet driver. In a video, Bergenty can be heard telling Hocevar to learn to drive after ‘wiping out’ Smith’s car. Hocevar tried to explain himself but the two had asked for their conversation to not be recorded any further.

Hey, when are you going to learn to f****** drive, dude? I mean you wiped us the f*** out. Our car is fucking wrecked because you drive like a f****** r****d.

Ryan Bergenty told Carson Hocevar.

Certainly, Carson Hocevar’s driving style seems to always get him in trouble. However, the Spire Motorsports driver does not seem to care. He has remained indifferent despite the multiple controversies with more incidents taking place. It might be time for Hocevar to put an end to such reckless moves on-track if he truly wants to gain respect as a top NASCAR talent.
