Carson Hocevar Responds To Brad Keselowski Promising That “His Day’s Coming And It’s Coming Hard”

Carson Hocevar shrugged off Brad Keselowski’s warning that “his day’s coming and it’s coming hard,” saying he’d just tighten his belts.

Toward the end of Stage 1 of the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Brad Keselowski got a run to the outside of Hocevar as they were racing for 17th and 18th position. Hocevar drifted up the track and made contact with Keselowski’s left rear quarter panel. The contact got Brad squirrely and he bounced off the wall. Hocevar then appeared to hit him again to finish him off. After the second hit, Keselowski spun down the track.

Here’s what it looked like from Hocevar’s in-car camera:

Keselowski would end up finishing 23rd while Hocevar brought it home 11th. Following the race, Keselowski spoke to Above The Yellow Line about the spin saying, “He ran into me.”

When asked if there was any history or why Hocevar ran into him, Keselowski responded, “There will be. Oh yeah. His day’s coming and it’s coming hard. Watch out, Carson!”

As for his perspective on Keselowski’s spin, Hocevar told USA Network, “He spun. I don’t know what happened. He spun.”

“I do everything for TV and entertainment purposes based off everybody else,” Hocevar added. “So I don’t know. Whatever makes us good TV. I just do it for the clicks.”

He reiterated that while speaking to Steven Taranto, “I don’t know. It looked like he spun.” When asked how, he said, “I don’t know. He spun.” When he was informed of Keselowski’s comments he said, “I’ll tighten my belts.”

When asked about Brad’s comments by Above the Yellow Line, Hocevar shared a similar response, “I’ll tighten my belts.” Then when asked if he intentionally spun Keselowski, he said, “No.”

Hocevar, who had already promised a finish-based discount after starting 34th, tacked on another 6% off his merch store after RFK posted “Caution involving a self-proclaimed ipad kid and BK.”
