Carson Hocevar Scores First Pole of Cup Series Career

On Saturday, Spire Motorsports driver Carson Hocevar flashed incredible speed in his No. 77 Chili's Ride the Dente Chevrolet. Hocevar paced practice, and followed his success in practice with an eye-opening 28.175-second (191.659 mph) lap time on his pole-winning run in qualifying.

The lap, which bested Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron by 0.014 seconds, was the fastest turned at Texas Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series since the 2018 season.

At a track, where passing is incredibly difficult, Hocevar will start with the best track position imaginable, but the 22-year-old is also quite excited about the prospect of utlizing the No. 1 pit stall on pit road in Sunday's race.

"What better place to get on a pole. I'm normally so hard on myself, and I still didn't think I nailed that lap at all. Super proud of this team. And proud because I've never been the No.1 pit stall," Hocevar explained. "I've had a lot of issues with pit road, and we've had a lot of bad luck. So, I finally get the No. 1 pit stall, so I'm pumped about that."
