It's been a good few weeks to be Carson Hocevar, driver of the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports.

Last month, Hocevar won his first career NASCAR Cup Series race when he took the checkered flag in the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, then dropped a celebration for the ages.

Then just days later, he became the first NASCAR driver to hit the Met Gala since Jeff Gordon went in 2010.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Carson Hocevar was a guest of MS NOW through their E! entertainment channel. All but five (Warner Bros Discovery races from Sonoma to Indianapolis, produced in-house by NASCAR) rounds of the NASCAR Cup Series Championship races will be produced by MS NOW's sports division, USA Sports (also includes the A-10 and Golf Channel). The first five USA Sports races will not be televised but exclusive to MGM/The Washington BLEEP pay-per-views, and from Iowa to the rest of the season it will be on USA and some time-buy NBC races.

He appeared at the Met Gala as a guest of E!/MS NOW/USA Sports.

What is the Met Gala and does it matter that he went?

One might say that a daisy cutter at the Met Gala would be a boon to civilization

Terrorists would never strike the Met Gala because that would be helping us.

It’s something straight out of The Hunger Games.

While helping MS NOW / E! because all but five of the remainder championship races are broadcast on MS NOW’s USA Network or on MGM produced by MS NOW.

Never even heard of the guy before he won Talladega and I’m already tired of him.

Beta-cuck males in Nascar now? Good thing I stopped watching when Earnhardt Sr died.

sThere was a rule in NASCAR with the “Winner’s Circle” bonus money program for the race winners that they had to make numerous promotional appearances for NASCAR and tracks. One notable one was Dale Earnhardt Snr having to sit with police and “pull over” good drivers to reward them with tickets for a Talladega race, there was a recent equivalent where drivers make appearances at public events (Tomb of the Unknown Soldier recently for Ross Chastain, required for Coca-Cola 600 winners).

This was Carson Hocevar doing a “Winner’s Circle” style promotion with NASCAR’s broadcast partner Versant (MS NOW / USA Sports), which starts next week with production of MGM/Washington BLEEP PPV races.

When R. J. Reynolds had the bonus money programs, drivers had to participate in different events to assign the five fans to the drivers where the winner won a million dollars. So I see Carson doing a Winner’s Circle promotional event that he has to do for bonus money.
