ROSSBURG, Ohio (Sept. 8, 2022) – Niece Motorsports driver Carson Hocevar made his dirt late model debut at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday night, with an 11th-place finish in the ‘Chasing the Dream’ Feature #3. The 19-year-old battled his way from the tail end of the field in the No. 42 Andy’s Frozen Custard dirt late model after sustaining right rear damage on the initial start of the 20-lap feature.
“I’ve been fortunate to get some dirt racing experience this year, but racing at a venue as historic as Eldora in a dirt late model is hard to top,” Hocevar remarked. “We battled back to salvage a decent finish and I can’t thank Andy’s Frozen Custard, Worldwide Express, Premier Security Solutions, SEAL Legacy Foundation, and Shocker Hitch enough for the opportunity. It was an experience I won’t forget and hopefully the first of many to come.”
“We’ve enjoyed the process of getting this dirt late model prepared for Eldora and to have the support from our Niece Motorsports shop really showcases the versatility of the people we have here,” Niece Motorsports general manager Cody Efaw remarked. “Carson battled to get himself back in contention and I’m sure it was a valuable experience for him – especially getting the chance to compete in another discipline at a high level.”
After a strong rookie campaign in 2021, Hocevar has continued his success in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with his second-straight Playoffs appearance in 2022. Through 18 races this season, Hocevar has tallied six top-five and 10 top-10 finishes.
Hocevar returns to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series action in the No. 42 Worldwide Express Chevrolet Silverado in the Kansas Lottery 200 at Kansas Speedway Friday night at 7:30 p.m. ET live on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
About Andy’s Frozen Custard
Andy’s Frozen Custard has always been fanatical about custard, and has served it with pride since March 19, 1986. For more than 35 years, only the freshest ingredients have been used for a frozen custard experience you can’t get anywhere else.
The Andy’s Frozen Custard tradition started in Osage Beach, Missouri when John and Carol Kuntz embarked on a new frozen custard endeavor. Their treat quickly became a legend at the lake, and soon took nearby Springfield, Missouri by storm.
It was at the original Springfield location where John and Carol’s son Andy (and his wife Dana) worked long hours learning the business from the ground up. Their fanaticism for a supreme product and unmatched customer service never wavered. Always striving to expand and improve Andy’s Frozen Custard, they have taken the brand to new heights, with locations throughout Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
These shops offer customers near and far, from the original Osage Beach roots, a slice of hometown Americana, where it’s fun to be a kid for a while. At the heart of each Andy’s is a fun work environment, where everyone shares in the fanaticism that brought Andy’s to life, and keeps it going strong.
A unique but simple approach has been used to achieve such great success; hire great people, and treat them right. John and Carol’s philosophy was always, “If you are in the service business, you have to hire people that have a strong desire to serve. Pay them above average, train them well, and demand nothing but the best.”
John, Carol, Andy, and Dana have been able to make Andy’s Frozen Custard the largest dessert-only franchise in the world! Andy’s can now be found in 14 states, and has more than 100 locations open, with several more under construction.
