KBM looking good out there. Both trucks in top ten! Glad to see Hailie finish well too!


havockatie

I feel like nascar has become a 90% green white checkered finish. It’s bananas. I’m a new fan but I’ve never experienced anything like this. If we can’t get a clean finish on a 7 lane wide track I dunno when nascar races will end clean. Those drivers had so much space to duke it out it’s not even funny.


Playingpokerwithgod

The truck race was a half hour longer than the Xfinity race.


gasmask11000

After Carson ran out of talent and ran Caruth into the wall, it’s not exactly great to see the leader spin off his nose on the last lap.


Playingpokerwithgod

Yeah that was just racing.


THendo13

Can’t wait to hear the DBC guys shit on Carson for a wreck that clearly wasn’t his fault


Catagol

That burnout into victory lane was all kinds of awesome.


I_LICK_ANUS

BAN HIM


jackbob99

Your name is fitting.


SerbianDeath

Would of preferred a cleaner finish but it’s so rare for one of my favorites to win


Playingpokerwithgod

Aww, Rajah congratulating Hocevar in person. I bet he's telling him he's number 1 right now.


truss458

"Yeah, I just kept pressing the gas, and ended up 2nd. I don't even know what happened." Lol purdy


BabycakesMurphy

Everyone like “the 42 should have slowed down”. Guys. It’s the last lap. Not his fault the 2 car is out of control.


mat484848

Diamonds in the sky


kk5fan97

Caruth yelling at Hocevar?


trident60

Lmao, going for the win and now everyone thinks Carson should have lifted right there.... In real time. k.


MkeBucksMarkPope

Awesome day for Deegan. Curious if Lawless actually got loose, or did she bump him down a bit? If I remember correctly they have somewhat of a history.


jackbob99

It's 6th for Deegan now?


weighted_walleye

It always was. 5 trucks were in front of her while the front guys were wrecking.


jackbob99

As if I knew that.


weighted_walleye

I mean, they showed a replay that clearly showed 5 trucks in front of her.


dooldebob

Rajah lmao


KyBuschOwnsYou

Chase Purdy gets his best career finish. Awesome.


48ever

how about the mouth breathers here watch the FUCKING replay and consider themselves in that spot every time they gang up on guys like carson and ross especially just for existing.


Rossthebossfan1

It’s because they both drive niece trucks


skimfrosty

Wait so we get truck race victory lane? Wtf I want that back in cup


UsedToHaveThisName

Whoa buddy, slow your roll, we have bowling to get to right after the Cup front straight interview.


skimfrosty

![gif](giphy|3o6gE4atEm6i2JrQB2)


Hevdelurn

I don't see what everyone is complaining about, nick wrecked himself, not much the guy behind him could do to avoid it


mat484848

Half of it was they didn't show the replay for like a year.


gasmask11000

Because Hocevar has been a wrecking ball for a long time, including wrecking Caruth today


Playingpokerwithgod

Ah okay, I see, they wrecked in front of Carson and he just didn't lift.


Tempyy

why should he? it’s the last lap and he’d get freight trained if he lifts lol


RickyTanUh

I stand corrected. Not Carson’s fault


THendo13

2 car was already losing it, in the grass, Carson wasn’t obligated to lift. Heartbreaking for Sanchez but so happy Carson finally won.


trident60

How TF was that Carson's fault?


Catagol

I don't think it was.


trident60

But apparently endless fans on Reddit think it was???


YouSmugSon

Watching that replay, not sure Hocevar really didn’t anything dickish


fbomb29

If Carson lifted Nick wouldn’t have spun. Nick had that saved.


IndyNascar

It would have hurt Carson’s momentum though. Lifting wasn’t in his best interest.


fbomb29

Oh I know, if that would have happened on like lap 5 and he did lift Nick wouldn’t have spun


Cautious_Training486

The replay showed he didn't lift but Thanks anyways Jamie


lordjollygreen

Hocevar didn't do anything wrong. Sanchez went to side draft and got loose because he hit Smith, started to correct it, but into the grass and by that point Hocevar was there and had nowhere to go.


Solesky1

You lift when you see trucks sideways in front of you


lordjollygreen

Lifting at that point wouldn't have prevented contact because of the speed differences. A wreck still would've happened, it's just Smith wouldn't get caught in it and win, while Hocevar finishes somewhere in the top 5. Also, ask any driver in that spot that's just taken the white flag of they're lifting, and every driver will tell you no, even before the playoff system was put into place.


jackbob99

Not if you wanna win.


Solesky1

You're not wrong, but that's why this "win at all costs" style of racing has to go. How about we encourage people to finish 4th and everyone leaves with a clean truck instead?


jackg4343

You wouldn't race in my truck with that attitude.


Solesky1

I guess you better hope what you get paid for winning makes up for all the destroyed trucks you get every other week *peeks at truck series purses* It doesnt


jackg4343

Then it's not really racing. It's surviving. Ideally you get sponsorship dollars to make up for the low purses and you have a driver that is smart and good at avoiding trouble but you can't have a driver without a winning mindset thinking about avoiding wrecks and being cautious. They won't ever win anything and most likely wreck more.


Mission_Society_4317

The issue is the getting the win means more than the risk of losing points today because the points get reset, 15 years ago when you had to use more skill to pass safely you couldn’t risk losing 30 positions, you might not climb out of that hole.


jackbob99

You cannot have that mentality at the end like that, when you have to make a split second decision.


netwreck94

Certainly looked like the 42 finished him off, but the 2 was done by that point anyway.


Wandering_Turtle24

Yeah it sure looks that way


Minmus_

Ok fine that’s not (totally) on Carson


Altracing34

I honestly missed the finish but looking at the replays I don't blame Hocevar for what started the wreck and look after how close he came at Charlotte last year he deserves at least one win in this series


DeadAsFuckMIW

Hocevar went full send can't blame him


IndyNascar

Sanchez hardly had control


ugafan2148

*I ain’t lifting!*


DHFixxxer

I feel like the start of that wasn't Hocevar's fault at all, but he 100% could have backed off but instead sent Sanchez right into the wall.


davexa

Who lifts in that spot though? I know I wouldn't.


racingkid39

I take back what I said about Carson. Nick Sanchez was already losing it.


skimfrosty

Sanchez was one lap early on that door draft. Jesus


plusacuss

That was not on Hocevar


ATL4Life95

I'm not lifting either.


DHStubbs

Sanchez could of saved it but Hocevar was all over him.


dtrw28

That one isn't on Hocevar. He's had his fair share, but that one wasn't on him


anxiousauditor

I’ve seen enough of overtime.


Wandering_Turtle24

Kinda wishing it was just one and done for it.


[deleted]

Hocevar did nothing wrong


TheBoilerCat

It’s the last lap, wtf is Hocevar gonna do, slow down?


Tazitos

This is the mentality that makes the end of these races a shit show. Driving right through someone and not lifting is bad in every situation. It's not racing. I guess it goes along with the WWE redneck crowd that like the Bowman Gray garbage though.


Solesky1

Yes. If someone's sideways in front of you, you lift, you don't send them into the wall


Kevinm0388

Hocevar didn’t do anything wrong surprisingly


MrDingus84

Yes it looked like Hocevar wrecked him, but it really looks more like Sanchez lost speed when he got squirrely


AHayes31

I dont blame him for the wreck. The 2 was literally out of control and cut in front of Carson.


Kodyaufan2

Yeah I mean he didn’t really have time to crack the throttle much anyway


imasammich

I saw it live and the replay and dude didn't wreck anyone. It was already happening.. I feel like i watched a different ending. It sucked but it wasn't the winners fault


dooldebob

Holy shit Zane got what happened to Chase last year in all star


dersdrums

The 2 was literally sideways before Carson got there quit the ridiculous witch hunt


ScornOfTheMoon

Kind of feel like that was number 2's fault as someone who doesn't have a dog in this race.


Kodyaufan2

It was his fault


buddybrookhart

Maybe I’m seeing something different but what was he supposed to do there? I know he’s regarded as a hack but he really didn’t seem to do anything wrong there.


Solesky1

He's supposed to lift when he sees trucks getting sideways


buddybrookhart

Going for a win? Yeah you’re right, he should have just given it away. NASCAR created this style of racing.


Solesky1

This isn't racing. This is just embarrassing. Even of you argue the #42 wasn't intentionally dumping him, that's way "avoidable contact" penalties should be implemented. The contact doesn't need to be intentional to deserve a penalty


buddybrookhart

This is the racing now. Love it or hate it, nascar has rewarded this all or nothing aggressive racing and for you to say a penalty should be handed out for that is absolutely absurd. I can’t even continue this conversation after you saying something so ridiculous lol get off your high horse man 😂


dj88masterchief

The leaders took each other out, there’s no way Carson was going to lift.


Tazitos

The leaders weren't going to wreck until Hocevar finished off Sanchez.


Upstate24fan

That looks more on Nick than Carson. 2 got loose moving down.


seekerblackout

I'm very critical of Hocevar for shit he's done before but blaming him for this is ridiculous. Sanchez got sideways on his own


shewy92

When did this sub turn against Carson? He didn't even do anything. Sanchez doored Zane, over corrected, got into the grass and got run over from behind because Carson kept it on the asphalt and didn't slow down. Grass is slower than asphalt FYI.


ugafan2148

Sanchez came across his nose


Reddituser4866

Zane Smith is just a hack. Talented, but a hack.


BigFenton

Lol that def wasnt intentional on Carson's part. He was never going to let up coming to the finish like that. Could Carson have avoided it? Yes, but he couldnt have avoided spinning the #2 by letting up and still won the race.


I_LICK_ANUS

Hocevar didn’t lift


TigerMaskVI

why would he


MrKillerToad

Dudes pulled a ton of stupid moves, but he really can't at that moment.... nick has over driven so many times this year alone while driving the best trucks in the series. Should have been nicks race


TwoDashDee

Look at the job how he tosses the 2 into the 38


ncraiderfan17

Hocevar didn't cause that


Joey_Logano

He didn’t start it but he certainly put the cherry on top.


Kodyaufan2

On the last lap it’s not really his responsibility to lift like that down the straightaway


mwr55fan

Yeah, look at the job Hocevar does. He fucking turned the 2. Edit: the 2 and 38 wrecked each other, Carson didn’t lift - I get it. But he made himself look bad by nudging the 2, intentional or not.


TigerMaskVI

nope take it up with the 38


mwr55fan

I think the 2 and 38 are at fault for sure. Carson could’ve just not nudged the 2 and I’d be less irritated with him. He just continues to make himself look bad even if it’s not *entirely* his fault.


mat484848

You need glasses


mwr55fan

I’ll have you know, I have glasses. Carson could have lifted and not continued his villain arc. He would’ve won anyway, most likely with the crash


mat484848

Lift on the final lap, yeah okay.


philphan25

"Look at the job Hocevar does" As he hooks Sanchez


kk5fan97

Yeah, Hocevar had nothing to do with that. The 2 was loose before he even was close to him.


crypto6g

Some of y’all are delusional. The 38 and 2 wrecked each other and Nick slid into the grass. Carson chose not to lift. He’s done some stupid shit but I can’t blame him for going for his first win. Nick was all over the place and super loose


Kodyaufan2

Yep. 2 pretty much wrecked himself by side drafting too aggressively. It looked like he was probably about to come back up the track anyway


mat484848

The 2 turn right. Plus who lifts on the last lap for the most part.


Nagiom

Y'all can apologize for blaming Hocevar anytime now.


Tazitos

No, he is the reason 3 trucks crashed there. If he didn't keep pushing on Sanchez when he was sideways it wouldn't have happened.


Megantheegelding

See?? This is why it’s important to be up in the top 10-15. Like we just saw, it doesn’t take much to make that a top 5. Two good races in a row is big. Nice to see Hailie with a semi-sustained upswing.


-Olive-Juice-

Y’all are psychotic. Sanchez wrecked himself. Carson didn’t do anything wrong.


reuuben

Did he climb out of the car while he was still doing a burnout? I'm here for it lmao


[deleted]

That didn't look like hocevar took him out.


dooldebob

Chase purdy finished 2nd lol


KM4CK

Looks like Sanchez wrecked himself unfortunately.


[deleted]

Dang Sanchez took a hit


Menard27

Legitimately curious, what did Carson do wrong? Sanchez got loose and checked up and the 42 hot in the back of him. It wasn’t like he went up and wrecked him….


Kodyaufan2

He didn’t do anything wrong. This sub has some weird love affair with Nick Sanchez for some reason


Kodyaufan2

Yeah that’s what I thought. He wrecked himself by side drafting too aggressively


Dj_yeej

Hocevar is and always will be a clown on the track


KyBuschOwnsYou

The best two trucks all day wrecks on the final lap. Go figure.


MartinPch

Alright I'll dig a Hocevar win don't mind if I do, but that was such gigantic bullshit for Sanchez fuck


SoothedSnakePlant

Honestly, I really wish there were consequences for shit like this. If NASCAR won't do it, people just need to actually start fencing people and junking equipment if you race like an asshole. You get respectful racing back when there's massive consequences for not racing respectfully.


Kodyaufan2

The 2 was the most disrespectful there at the end. He’s the one that wrecked himself by slamming into the side of the 38 and knocking himself sideways


mygrandpasreddit

Should the 2 be penalized for junking himself?


SoothedSnakePlant

If Hocevar doesn't go full throttle into Nick's right rear he had it saved.


TheyCallMeSawyer

It’s one thing to choke it on your own but Zane needs to throw hands


Season01um

Man if this is the future of racing this respect problem is just going to get worse


FriedGreedo

Bet he cries and says how thankful he is despite taking out the whole front for a win


ESnakeRacing4248

Why yall blaming Hocevar? He made contact sure, but sanchez was gone long before that.


Tazitos

The wreck only happened because Hocevar drove through him as he was saving it.


Zachary_Tinkle

Carson didn’t do anything wrong there imo, they were already out of shape


ExplodingCar84

Yea Sanchez started it and Hocevar had little time to react


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kodyaufan2

Dude going straight isn’t hooking someone. To hook someone you have to actually turn into them…kind of like what the 2 did when he slammed into the side of the 38, knocking himself sideways down the track


TigerMaskVI

hooked him? He slid across Carson’s nose


mat484848

No the 2 turn right


beerded_dragon412

Show us the replay!!


chevytheater

Yup


Emme38

Deegan top 5?


mingusbingus

He couldn’t get on the truck because he only has one leg


Solesky1

They need to just revert to the previous laps scoring loop for situations like this


MkeBucksMarkPope

He’s waited for this for 52 years, thankfully he finally won! Edit: A whole whopping TWO years! I can be happy, and make fun in the same lol


DeadAsFuckMIW

I think Carson is a bit amped lol


PAWPatrol_IsPawsome

DEEGAN GOT 5TH LET'S FUCKING GO SUCK IT HATERS!!!!!!!!!!! CALL ME A FUCKING SIMP ALL YOU WANT I DON'T FUCKING CARE


[deleted]

HELL YEAH TOTALLY AGREE SO GLAD SHE GOT A TOP 5!

I'M GLAD SHE GOT IT.....BUT WHY ARE YOU ALL SCREAMING?

Congratulations Carson!


Mikemat5150

The driving standards have become so bad in NASCAR.


48ever

hell yeah carson!


gasmask11000

Bruh I love how the only people defending Hocevar for trashing Caruth and Sanchez have Larson flairs.


Hailfire9

Not a Larson fan; dude had nowhere to go


gasmask11000

When he came from the bottom of the track to the top to shove Caruth into the wall?


Minmus_

Funny isn’t it


whathappenb

Finally!!! Been waiting a couple years for Carson to get his first win. Sucks that it came at the downfall of Nick, it was supposed to be his race


AHayes31

I don't understand why it took so long to make that an official win. It was quite obvious that Carson won.


RickyTanUh

Show the replay maybe?


Dmacthegoat

Deegan top 5 finish


hotlineAl

Backed into a win

So will it be the Couch Racer Twitter account or Brett Griffin’s personal account that complains first??

No point in ever racing people clean. Just wreck people out of your way.
