The NASCAR race in New Hampshire, scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, experienced a schedule change that promised to avoid possible weather complications. However, the weather had other plans and forced the postponement of the competition’s start at the least expected moment.
During the recognition lap, with the track still wet and vehicles fitted with rain tires, the situation was complicated. Driver Carson Hocevar had an unexpected moment, spinning his car and making it clear that the race’s start could be delayed.
His incident occurred in front of other drivers, including Joey Logano, who couldn’t help but laugh at Hocevar’s unexpected loss of control. ‘Look at this guy. Look at this idiot,’ Logano commented, noting that the situation was not the best for starting the race.
After his spin, Hocevar chose to defend himself on social media, arguing that his performance was actually a safety test. ‘I prefer to explore the track when there’s no one around rather than doing it with the green light and other vehicles nearby,’ he wrote in a message that was deleted shortly after. According to him, if no one else was testing the track, he would.
Although his explanation may have some logic, the moment was hilarious for many viewers. The image of a car losing control during what should be a controlled turn has left more than one person smiling.
Considering the difficult conditions in New Hampshire, it is likely that we will encounter more unexpected incidents as the competition progresses.
