Homestead, Fla. (Oct. 21, 2023) – Carson Hocevar earned a series-high fourth win on Saturday afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The win secured Hocevar and the No. 42 Worldwide Express team a spot in the ‘Championship 4’ at Phoenix Raceway.

“I’m so proud of everyone on this Niece Motorsports team, said Hocevar. “Our Worldwide Express Chevrolet was so fast. I was bummed yesterday when we didn’t get the pole because I knew the speed that our truck had. I’m glad that we could show that today and put ourselves into the final round of the playoffs. We’re going to do everything we can to bring that championship home.”

The win comes in Hocevar’s 76th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start. It marks Hocevar’s fourth win of the 2023 season; his other three wins coming at Texas Motor Speedway, Nashville Superspeedway, and Richmond Raceway. It is the eighth win for Niece Motorsports in only its seventh full-time season.

Hocevar is the only driver to win four races this season. With the win, Hocevar secures a position in the ‘Championship 4’. The highest finishing driver, of the Championship 4, at Phoenix Raceway will be crowned the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion.

“I know how hard we’re working in the shop to prepare race trucks that are capable of winning, and we know Carson has the talent to get the job done,” said Niece Motorsports General Manager Cody Efaw. “It’s been our goal as an organization to compete for a championship this season, so we’re excited to get to Phoenix and have that opportunity.”

Hocevar and his Niece Motorsports team were happy with the No. 42 Worldwide Express Chevrolet after Friday afternoon’s practice session. Both truck and driver showed speed, putting the No. 42 Chevrolet on the outside pole to start the 134-lap race.

Early in Stage One, Hocevar’s truck began overheating, due to debris on the grille. The No. 42 crossed the line third to end the opening stage, with Hocevar visiting pit road during the stage break for four tires, fuel and to remove the debris.

Hocevar maintained position toward the front of the pack during the second stage, until a caution with just a few laps remaining in the stage brought teams down pit road. Hocevar restarted outside of the top-10, but worked his way into ninth to finish the stage – collecting ever-important stage points in both stages.

The final stage was slowed early by two cautions, with Hocevar continuing to run in the top-10. A long green flag run brought teams down pit road for fresh tires and fuel, to make it to the end of the race. Hocevar methodically worked his way through the field, taking the lead for the first time of the day on Lap 124 on the way to the win.

The Craftsman 150 at Phoenix Raceway will air live on FS1, The Motor Racing Network (MRN) and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio on Friday, Nov. 3 at 10:00 p.m. ET.

BEN RHODES, No. 99 Campers Inn RV Ford F-150 — Finished 3rd — Advances to Championship 4

YOU HAVE ADVANCED TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP 4 ON POINTS, BUT IT WASN’T EASY WAS IT? “I was just trying to hold on all day long. I was trying to hang on from the drop of the green flag. I told my team that I have never had a truck that was so on top of the race track with brand new tires. I really didn’t understand it. Something was going on with this thing and we built a completely different package underneath it and it wasn’t jiving. We are going to have to go back to our notebook and go with what we know. The good news is that Phoenix we have a really good track record. We finished second last year, second in the championship, a championship the year before. I should be celebrating right now. We have a chance to go for a championship and today was an absolute blessing to finish the way it was. I didn’t see that coming.”

ZANE SMITH, No. 38 Ambetter Health Ford F-150 — Finished 2nd

“It was everything I had. I am not sure what happened there on the final stop or what. We just got wicked, wicked tight and I don’t know why. We had zero front grip and I just couldn’t do anything to defend the 42 there. It is just a bummer. I felt like we had a pretty good day, we just didn’t quite have enough.”

TY MAJESKI, No. 98 Soda Sense/Curb Records Ford F-150 — Finished 10th

“It was a mediocre day. We were just I guess probably a sixth to 10th place truck and that is where we finished. We had a bad last pit stop and it just was not our day today.”

The reigning Rookie of the Year will compete against Grant Enfinger, Carson Hocevar and Ben Rhodes for the title.

Stewart Friesen of Halmar Friesen Racing finished seventh after a solid run inside the top-10 most of the afternoon. The 40-year-old, who sat on pole in Homestead in 2019, captured his seventh top-10 of the 2023 season and first since Kansas in September.

Finishing Position: 4th

What’s your mindset as you shift to Phoenix, which I’m sure you’ve already been thinking about?

“I’m definitely excited for Phoenix. I’ve been putting in a lot of hard work and studying into that race. It’s going to be the biggest race of my career. Super thankful for Toyota Racing and TRD for putting me in this position. Really, I thought we had them covered today. We swept the first two stages and were kind of put-putting around waiting for the third stage, and all of a sudden, it went out like a light switch. We’ll look everything over, it’s kind of undiagnosed for us, but huge shout out to Chateau Elan and Explore Braselton for everything they do, TRD and Toyota Racing, once again, and TRICON Garage. We have bigger things on the horizon, so we are focused on that heading to Phoenix.”

STEWART FRIESEN, No. 52 Halmar International Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, Halmar Friesen Racing

Can you walk us through your day today?

STATESVILLE, N.C.: AM Racing confirmed today that Palm Beach Garden, Fla. native Mason Maggio will return to the driving duties of the team’s No. 22 Ford F-150 in Saturday afternoon’s Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami (Fla.) Speedway.

Maggio will make his sixth NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series start of the season and third for AM Racing in the penultimate race of the 2023 season.

Maggio, 19, will make his 10th career NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series start and returns to AM Racing since competing for the team last month at Kansas Speedway in the Kansas Lottery 200.

The Floridian will make his second Truck Series start of his blossoming career at the South Florida 1.5-mile speedway. Last October, Maggio started 34th and finished 32nd in an entry for Reaume Brothers Racing.

“I am excited to be back with AM Racing in the No. 22 truck at one of my home tracks this weekend,” offered Maggio. “I’ve really enjoyed my time working with the AM Racing and feel like we’ve been able to put together some solid runs, and I believe we’ll be able to carry that momentum into Homestead.”

Maggio is keen that his prior Homestead experience will benefit the 134-lap race that will serve as the preamble doubleheader on October 21.

“The experience I gained from running the Reaume Brothers Racing’s truck there last year was extremely valuable, and I know we’ll put together another solid run and come home with a good finish. It’s always a fantastic opportunity to return to a place I have laps at, along with a rich history of going to Homestead as a fan for several years, watching the season finally there.

“To be able to return to a track that I have so many memories of is something special to me. Looking forward to getting on the track on Friday afternoon.”

With a considerable support crowd this weekend at Homestead, Maggio will carry a massive partnership lineup, including the support of ACE Hardware Hobe Sound, which will serve as the primary marketing partner for the 22nd Truck Series race of the season.

In addition to ACE Hardware Hobe Sound, Anything Marine, Cayside Partners, Copeland Construction, East Coast Lumber, Flitz, Furry Friends Foundation, HMY Yacht Sales and Voodoo Bayou will serve as associate marketing partners for Homestead.

It will be a busy weekend for Maggio in the Sunshine State. In addition to competing in Saturday afternoon’s NASCAR CRAFTSMAN® Truck Series race, he will attempt to make his fifth NASCAR Xfinity Series start of the season in an entry fielded by RSS Racing with Lefcourt Brothers.

“It is really going to be a busy weekend at Homestead, but I believe I am ready for it,” sounded Maggio. “I am thankful to both AM Racing and RSS Racing for the opportunities of allowing me to compete in both the Truck Series and Xfinity Series races on Saturday afternoon.

“Hopefully, I’ll have a good result in both vehicles and can gain some attention for our partners and continue to mount more on-track experience that will help strengthen my racing resume.”
