They said it

“Everybody talks about how overwhelming and how big the Daytona 500 is — and I’ve been there as a fan — but I’ve looked forward to this day for so many years,” Carson Hocevar, one of three Cup Series rookies alongside Josh Berry and Zane Smith, said on a video call with reporters. “When I was there as a fan, I was like, man, I want to do all these appearances. I want to be that guy for this team, and have all these partners. And do all these media availabilities. I’m just looking forward to getting there, doing the duels, doing qualifying.”
