Carson Hocevar responds to Brad Keselowski threat with another ruthless troll

The trolling by Carson Hocevar doesn't stop. Hocevar and Brad Keselowski ended Stage 1 of the Southern 500 with nine laps to go with a caution. He got into Keselowski, sending him spinning and into the wall. Following the race, an angry Keselowski threatened Hocevar. There's no two ways to read into these comments from the RFK driver and owner. 'Oh yeah, he ran into me,' said Keselowski as he swiftly walked toward the garage. When asked if there was any history that led to the moment, a highly irritated Keselowski quipped, 'There will be.' Asked for clarification on that comment, Keselowski didn't hold back. 'His day's coming. It's coming hard. 'Watch out, Carson.' Hocevar trolls Keselowski again Ahead of Sunday night's race at Darlington, Hocevar announced a merchandise deal. Since qualifying was set by the metric, he started P34. He said for every spot he finishes better than this starting spot, he would take that percentage off of his merchandise on his website. If he finished below P30, he would do 77% off, reflective of his car number. He wasn't done with car numbers on the night, however. After the dust-up with Keselowski and Keselowski's threat, as well as RFK's social team attempting to troll Hocevar, the young Spire star got off another shot at Keselowski. Since Hocevar finished P11 (33 spots higher than he started), he announced 33% off his merchandise. He wasn't done, however. He QT'd RFK's troll attempt and added another 6% off (Brad Keselowski's car number) for 6 hours only. just added an extra 6% off at https://t.co/HFSMS2hXrh https://t.co/px6VgH79Yy— Carson Hocevar (@CarsonHocevar) September 7, 2026 Hocevar responds to Keselowski After the comments from Keselowski, Hocevar was alerted to the threat from the RFK owner and driver. He gave a four-word response. 'I'll tighten my belts,' said Hocevar. When asked on pit road about the incident, Hocevar gave an even shorter response. 'He spun.' Leaning into his critics Hocevar put on a masterclass in trolling following the race. You don't have to like his driving or his personality, but you should respect his commitment to his craft of trolling. Asked by USA Sports about wanting to start the race a little closer to the front, he went in again. 'Yeah, I mean, I do everything for TV and entertainment purposes,' said Hocevar in his post-race interview with USA Sports. 'Based off what everybody else says. So I don't know. Whatever makes just good TV. 'I just do it for the clicks. You know what I mean?'
