Back-to-Back Top-15s Accentuate Strong Start for Rookie Carson Hocevar
Throughout the opening four weeks of his NASCAR Cup Series rookie campaign, Carson Hocevar has managed to keep himself completely out of the headlines. While some may think that is underwhelming for the Portage, Michigan native, it’s quite the opposite.
See, it’s been nine months since Hocevar was unexpectedly thrust onto the NASCAR Cup Series scene at World Wide Technology Raceway to fill in for Corey LaJoie. In that short period, the 21-year-old driver has transformed his once uncertain future into a full-time ride with Spire Motorsports, while also picking up some additional laps with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB at the end of last season.
Eyes are wide open and intently watching the youngest driver in the NASCAR Cup Series field, as he tackles the grueling 36-race schedule that NASCAR’s top-level has to offer, a drastic step up from the 23-race schedule that he is accustomed to, having spent the last three seasons competing in the NASCAR Truck Series.

Tyler Ankrum to Pilot Ullico-Sponsored Truck at Bristol and Nashville
While McAnally-Hilgemann Racing announced back in December that Tyler Ankrum would pilot a Ullico-sponsored No. 18 Chevrolet Silverado for the team in two races during the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, those two races weren’t revealed at the time. On Monday, the team revealed the two Ullico primary sponsorship races for Ankrum.
Ankrum will carry the blue, white, and red colors of Ullico this weekend in the Weather Guard Truck Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, and the company will return as the primary sponsor for the No. 18 team at Nashville Superspeedway in June.
