In a shocking turn of events, NASCAR drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Carson Hocevar found themselves in a heated altercation after the Mexico City race this past weekend. The two drivers were caught on camera exchanging words and shoving each other in the pits, much to the surprise of fans and fellow drivers.
According to eyewitnesses, the altercation began when Stenhouse accused Hocevar of cutting him off during the race, causing him to lose valuable positions. Hocevar, on the other hand, claimed that Stenhouse was driving recklessly and nearly caused a major crash on the track.
Things quickly escalated as Stenhouse and Hocevar exchanged blows, with Stenhouse reportedly shouting, “You think you can just cut me off like that? I’m Ricky ‘The Racer’ Stenhouse Jr., I don’t take that kind of disrespect from a rookie like you!”
Hocevar fired back with, “Oh yeah? Well, maybe you should learn how to drive properly then, Ricky ‘The Wrecker’ Stenhouse Jr.! You’re a danger to everyone out there!”
The altercation was eventually broken up by NASCAR officials, but not before Stenhouse and Hocevar had to be physically separated. Both drivers were fined and placed on probation by NASCAR for their actions, with Stenhouse being forced to attend anger management classes and Hocevar ordered to apologize publicly to Stenhouse.
In a statement released after the incident, Stenhouse said, “I may have a reputation for being a bit aggressive on the track, but I never expected things to escalate to this level. I apologize to Carson for my actions and I hope we can move past this.”
Hocevar, on the other hand, remained defiant, stating, “I may be a rookie, but I won’t back down from anyone, not even Ricky ‘The Rampager’ Stenhouse Jr. I stand by my actions and I’m ready to take on whatever comes my way.”
Only time will tell if these two drivers can put their differences aside and focus on racing, but one thing’s for sure – the Mexico City race will go down in history as one of the most dramatic and entertaining events in NASCAR history.
