NASCAR podcast: Carson Hocevar on Rookie of the Year and what's next

Carson Hocevar is this year's NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year, and the offseason hasn’t yet slowed things down for him because of the award. Hocevar joins the show to discuss what he’s been up to since Phoenix; what he gets out of being at the shop regularly; what winning Rookie of the Year means to him; the difference in his expectations versus those around him; the growth process throughout the year; the races that stand out or Hocevar is most proud of; quickly taking to the Next Gen car; the idea of sim work and how much he does; what the stats don’t show about the season; things that need to be improved for next year; what did or didn’t surprise him about full-time Cup Series racing; and reflecting on a fast five years in NASCAR.
