“He’d Rather Be Cleetus Than Jimmie”: Denny Hamlin Rips ‘Envious’ Carson Hocevar Over Hollow NASCAR Priorities

Carson Hocevar finished 21st, two laps down, at Martinsville on Sunday, yet few drivers left the track with more people talking about them. The Spire Motorsports driver slid up the track while being lapped by race leader William Byron, and several rivals accused him of spinning on purpose, which he denied. Austin Cindric, meanwhile, believed Hocevar brake-checked him out of the race. Denny Hamlin has offered a theory about what is really driving it.
