Carson Hocevar eviscerates Mexico City NASCAR race weekend: 'Such a sh*thole'

Carson Hocevar seemed to have a lot of issues with the NASCAR Cup Series race at Mexico City weekend. During his Twitch stream on Friday night, Hocevar said the experience was “Such a s**thole.”

“This is how I put it,” Hocevar began. “This whole experience, if the travel was better, if getting here was easier, if you felt safer getting to and from everywhere, if it wasn’t such a s**thole, if the track limits were a little bit better enforced, if it was going to be a little bit better or a race and it wasn’t so easy… or feel so lockdown like you can’t leave anywhere, it would be a great experience. It would be an absolute great experience.

for the people defending this dude, here's the video, so…

“If you take all those out, it’s unbelievable. It’s great.” Hocevar made the comments before he competed in the Cup Series race. But with those comments, a P34 finish on Sunday and a confrontation with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. after the race, Carson Hocevar is likely more than ready to leave Mexico City.

Carson Hocevar apologized for his comments about Mexico City

On Sunday night, Hocevar went to X/Tiwtter to apologize for his comments. “Maybe a kid that had never been out of the country until Thursday should ever give an opinion about what any place is like other than Portage, Michigan,” Hocevar wrote. “When I answered that question on a stream, I was skeptical about the trip so far and believed everything I read or heard about Mexico City from people who more than likely also had never been here.

“Now that I’ve actually left my hotel a couple times and raced here in front of some of the most passionate fans I’ve ever seen, my opinion has changed. I am embarrassed by my comments, by the race I ran, and I may have to move here to hide out from Ricky (Stenhouse Jr.) anyway.”

Hocevar is in his second season as a full-time driver in the Cup Series. So far this year, Hocevar has earned three top-10 finishes, with two of them being in second place. In 59 Cup Series races, Hocevar has recorded nine top-10 finishes and one pole.
