Hocevar Tops Brickyard Grid | Nascar News

Carson Hocevar storms to his second pole of the season and third career at the Brickyard 400, blazing a 186.598 mph lap to edge out teammate Daniel Suarez by a mere 0.05 seconds. The win is a major milestone for Spire Motorsports, whose Indianapolis-born owner celebrates with all three cars in the top ten — including Michael McDowell at sixth, who gave Hocevar the confidence to push harder. Hocevar, a self-proclaimed Indy native in spirit, revels in the track’s unique feel and even dropped a playful jab at Denny Hamlin, who took his home-track pole at Michigan. Tyler Reddick and Ty Gibbs anchor the top three, while the top ten features a Chevrolet-Toyota split and Ryan Blaney as the fastest Ford at 13th. With Hocevar at the wheel and a stacked grid, Sunday’s Brickyard 400 promises fireworks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
