NASCAR: Kevin Harvick Blasts Carson Hocevar Over Controversial Martinsville Tactics

Carson Hocevar faced heavy criticism after repeatedly checking Austin Cindric’s brakes during the NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Former Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick called the move the “dirtiest of dirty tricks” after the incident damaged Cindric’s No. 2 Ford and forced him out of the race. On the SPEED with Harvick and Buxton podcast, Harvick questioned why Hocevar repeatedly braked while Cindric followed closely behind. The incident happened just over 200 laps into the 500-lap race and quickly became one of the biggest talking points from Martinsville.
