NASCAR reveals status of Carson Hocevar's No. 77 car at R&D Center
NASCAR has revealed the status of Carson Hocevar's No. 77 car for Spire Motorsports at the RD Center after Darlington Raceway in March 2026.
NASCAR took Carson Hocevar's No. 77 car to the R&D Center after the Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway. Following a strong run at Darlington, the sport had a closer inspection of Hocevar's vehicle; however, did the Spire Motorsports driver receive any penalties?
Hocevar's No. 77 car had no issues at the NASCAR R&D Center, which is the best result from further inspection. In previous years, NASCAR has found issues that cost a race team and driver over 100 points and more, so Hocevar receiving the green light is excellent news.
Going into Martinsville Speedway, Hocevar sits 13th in the point standings behind Ryan Preece with 20 races left in the NASCAR regular season. The driver of the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports hopes to carry his momentum into Martinsville, as the Chase bubble is already a topic of conversation in 2026.
