Over the past 3 seasons, the 23 year old driver has taken the NASCAR Cup Series by storm. However, Carson Hocevar had yet to secure his first win. That was until Sunday.<\/p>\n
Hocevar wheeled the “Intimidente” Chevrolet (made to resemble the Dale Earnhardt Intimidator) sponsored by Chili’s into Victory Lane.<\/p>\n
The win was a crowd-pleaser. The grandstands reveled as the 6-foot-5, Chili’s sponsored, Twitch streaming, meme posting Hocevar dished out a soon to be iconic celebration. Hanging from the window, Carson Hocevar burnt it down and waved and fist pumped to the fans.<\/p>\n
As they say, you don\u2019t win Talladega, you survive it. Carson Hocevar did just that. Surviving an incident on lap 115 that ended days for a handful of drivers and left the majority of the field with damage. The #77 also kept it straight in the late stages of the race when he got tangled with Erik Jones the driver of the #43 Doritos Camry from Legacy Motor Club.<\/p>\n
It all led to a thrilling 3 lap shootout with Chris Buescher of RFK Racing, Hocevar had help in a fellow Chevy with the #48 of Alex Bowman behind him to push.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sunday was the first win of Hocevar\u2019s career coming in his 91st start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The NASCAR Cup Series now heads to Texas Motor Speedway for the W\u0168RTH 400 scheduled for May 3rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
