Hocevar on Texas: “My first win has been looming over me and my Worldwide Express team for so long, and it’s so nice to finally say I’m a NASCAR winner. All the people at Niece Motorsports have believed in me since Day One and I’m so fortunate to live out my dreams.”
Hocevar at Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt: In two starts at the Bristol Dirt track, Hocevar has an average finish of 11.5, including a runner-up finish a year ago.
Hocevar on Saturday’s Race at Bristol Dirt: “I love when we get to go dirt racing in the Truck Series. Obviously, dirt racing is a big passion of mine which helps my confidence going into races like this. Last year, we were able to finish second and hopefully this year we can finish one better.”
