Former NASCAR Cup Driver Weighs in on Carson Hocevar
Nov 4, 2026 5:53 PM
After Spire Motorsports suspended Carson Hocevar for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, many have weighed in on the young driver.
Among them are former Cup Series driver Rick Mast. He made this post on social media:
"Concerning @CarsonHocevar He said “today is an embarrassing day” for him. When and if he ever understands that SUNDAY is the day that’s much more embarrassing, then that’s when he’ll start winning multiple races and contend for championships. His driving talent is unquestioned."
Mast earned just seven top-five finishes, 36 top-10 finishes and four poles in 364 Cup Series starts. However, he was well-regarded in the garage for his talent. In fact, after Dale Earnhardt died, Richard Childress Racing had Mast in mind to take over the No. 3 car before they went with Kevin Harvick for the renumbered No. 29 car.
