Why multiple NASCAR drivers were furious with 'moron' Carson Hocevar
It wasn't just one NASCAR Cup Series driver who was furious with second-year pro Carson Hocevar.
After finishing second at the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hocevar was confronted by both Ross Chastain and Ryan Blaney. Some of his moves in the race ticked off those drivers, with Blaney getting spun out after a Hocevar nudge.
What's more, Blaney called him a "moron" on his radio discussion after the spinout, and Kyle Busch let loose with an expletive-filled rant on radio that ended with "I'm gonna wreck his [butt]."
Here's what went down and the reaction from those drivers:
