Ross Chastain was among the several drivers who had a negative experience with Carson Hocevar at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Chastain and Ryan Blaney confronted Hocevar on pit road after the event, while Kyle Busch expressed his displeasure over the radio and on the race track after Stage 1 ended.

Denny Hamlin understood why Carson Hocevar was driving aggressively during the Atlanta NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday. On the Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin defended Hocevar for his driving and his incident with Ross Chastain.

Carson Hocevar's aggressive moves at Atlanta might have earned him a second-place finish, but they didn't earn him any new friends.
