Ricky Stenhouse Jr. speaks on beef with Carson Hocevar

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. entered through the tunnel of Pocono Raceway still fired up over a late spin in last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series debut at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

With 10 laps remaining at Mexico City, Spire Motorsports driver Carson Hocevar, one lap down, turned Stenhouse’s No. 47 Chevrolet in the stadium section of the 15-turn course for the second time in three races. That came following a conversation between the two drivers before the prior race weekend at Michigan International Speedway, as the No. 47 car was also tagged at Nashville Superspeedway.

“For me, I’m tired of giving the kid any publicity, anyway,” Stenhouse added. “I don’t know how it’s going to play itself out, but it will.”
