“F*ck Him”: Carson Hocevar F-Bombs Chase Elliott on Air Challenging Rick Hendrick’s Stature

The Southern 500 at Darlington is pure chaos from the start, and things get spicy on Lap 125 when Carson Hocevar and Chase Elliott tangle in a heated battle for 15th. Hocevar’s aggressive move sends tire smoke flying as he bumps Elliott, a Hendrick Motorsports star and former champ.

A lap later, Hocevar’s boldness backfires as he nearly spins out trying to pass Elliott again, clipping Chris Buescher into the wall while scrambling to get back in line. The “Lady in Black” is living up to her name, dishing out drama left and right.

Hocevar’s spotter tries to cool him down, radioing, “You’ve got a gap. Deep breath.” But Hocevar isn’t having it, letting loose with a fiery, “F*ck him. I don’t care who he drives for.” That jab, caught on air, is a direct shot at Elliott and the mighty Hendrick empire.

It is a bold move for the young Spire Motorsports driver, unafraid to mix it up with NASCAR royalty in the playoff opener. Meanwhile, up front, Denny Hamlin muscles past Chase Briscoe on a Lap 124 restart to grab the lead, setting the stage for a wild race.

Hocevar’s F-bomb and the contact with Elliott show he’s not backing down, even against a team as big as Hendrick. The incident costs Buescher, who gets caught in the mess, but Elliott keeps his cool and stays in the hunt.

With the playoffs just kicking off, this clash is a reminder that Darlington brings out raw emotion and no one is safe from the action. Hocevar’s defiance and Elliott’s resilience are setting up a postseason full of fireworks, and fans are already buzzing about what’s next.
