NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar is no longer listed among the entries for this weekend’s Craftsman Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The withdrawal comes as a surprise, especially given his solid performances in recent outings.
A surprising omission
Hocevar, who has been behind the wheel of the No. 77 Spire entry for seven races this season, has already posted three top‑ten finishes and a victory, underscoring his impact despite limited starts.
Although he will miss the Charlotte event, the driver remains slated to compete in Sunday’s Coca‑Cola 600, the season‑ending spectacle that caps the NASCAR weekend.
Spire’s season to date
Spire Motorsports, the team that fields Hocevar’s truck, has been active in the Truck Series for several years, and its official website provides updates on the program’s progress.
The organization’s performance this year reflects a blend of youthful talent and veteran experience, with the No. 77 truck showing steady improvement.
What lies ahead for Hocevar
Fans can still expect to see the driver take the green flag in the Coca‑Cola 600, where his experience on superspeedways could prove decisive. The episode highlights the unpredictable nature of a schedule that often sees drivers juggle multiple series.
