Nashville Recap: After setting the fastest lap in practice, Carson Hocevar and the No. 42 Worldwide Express team had their eyes set on taking home the trophy and the Gibson guitar in Nashville. Fortunately for the team, they were able to achieve their goal to pick up their second victory of the 2023 season. Hocevar collected 16 stage points, along with the race win, to close the gap to point leader Corey Heim.
Hocevar on Last Race at Nashville Superspeedway: “It’s so great to have this success after the beginning of the year started out so rocky. These Worldwide Express Silverados have been so fast no matter where we’ve been this year. I feel that we’re firing on all cylinders right now and this team wants it more than anyone out there.”
Heating Up: It took Carson Hocevar 58 starts to capture his first NASCAR victory. Now, just eight starts later, Hocevar is a two-time Craftsman Truck Series winner and the hottest driver in the series after his win in Nashville. The Portage, Michigan-driver has finished inside the top-five in five consecutive races and has tallied the most points in that time-span. Since his fifth-place finish at Darlington in May, Hocevar has an average finish of 3.6, the best in Truck Series competition during that span.
Hocevar at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course: In one start at Mid-Ohio, Hocevar started and finished third. He collected stage points in each stage, en route to a podium finish.
Hocevar on Saturday’s Race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course: We were so fast earlier in the year at COTA, so it really hurt that we weren’t able to finish that race. But, that gives me a lot of confidence going into Mid-Ohio this weekend that we’ll have a fast WWEX Racing Silverado yet again.”
On the Truck: Hocevar’s No. 42 Worldwide Express Chevrolet Silverado will race with support from the WWEX group of brands, which comprises Worldwide Express, Unishippers and GlobalTranz, and offers full-service logistics expertise to more than 115,000 customers across the country.
