Earlier this year, Carson Hocevar bought a unique 1997 Chevrolet Silverado truck through Facebook Marketplace, which was fully customised with Dale Earnhardt's iconic No. 3 Goodwrench livery. After just four months down the line, the young driver has bought himself another toy. He has now purchased a silver 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass with an impressive No. 28 black coloured paint scheme.

Christopher Bell reflects on his incident with Carson Hocevar at the Darlington Raceway

Carson Hocevar and Christopher Bell made contact during the pit stops under caution. Bell was leaving his stall while Hocevar was entering his when the two made significant contact, resulting in right-front damage to Bell's car. He could only manage a 29th-place finish after the incident and had a disappointing start to the playoffs.

Christopher Bell spoke about the incident after the race and insisted that Carson Hocevar's team should have told him to give way to the other cars.

"The picture that I see is that Hocevar wasn't going to gain a spot on pit road. He should have been able to give way to the playoff cars. I don't blame Carson. He's just doing what he's told, right? And if it is a competitive stop, then it's on us to get out. I don't know all the details of where he was out on track, but I do know he was the one who brought out the yellow." Bell said via Motorsport.

Carson Hocevar still ended up with a top-ten finish during the Cook Out Southern 500 race. He finds himself ranked 25th in the current NASCAR Cup Series rankings, scoring 519 points so far.
