Despite their meeting Saturday with NASCAR officials, there appeared little chance that the roiling controversy between drivers Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar is any closer to a resolution.
In fact, quite the opposite.
“I just don’t like him,” Smith told reporters after his Saturday qualifying run. It is far from the first time Smith has indicated the two won’t be going bowling together or sharing a bag of peanuts.
Asked about the result of the session with NASCAR officials, Smith said, “I think we both understand where we’re at with everything, but it doesn’t change how much he dislikes me and how much I dislike him.”
