Alright, so let me get this straight—not exactly the best start for Carson Hocevar, right? Dude’s caught on camera, blasting Mexico City with some pretty colorful language. Yeah, you know, those words you probably mutter under your breath when you step on a Lego. It’s right before they hit up the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for that Cup Series. First time they’re racing internationally since 1958, which seems kinda wild if you ask me. Was it on purpose? Or maybe some cosmic joke? Beats me.
Anyway—wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Carson. He’s got this rep for being fast on the track, like blink-and-you-miss-him fast. But also kinda known for causing a few too many pile-ups. Guess you can’t have it all. So, he’s driving this car, #77, and his sponsor is out there in motorsport territory for the first time. Probably not loving this whole debacle.
Spire Motorsports, his boss folks, decide to slap him with a $50k fine. Not NASCAR, though. Why? Who knows. Just seems like one of those things. And then he’s gotta go to sensitivity training—because, clearly, he needs to get a clue about watching his words.
Oh, and that fifty grand? It’s going to three Mexican charities. Kinda fitting, right? Almost like trying to clean up a mess with a paper towel. Anyway, that’s the gist.
