NASCAR has disclosed concerning details regarding disciplinary actions taken against Cup Series drivers Carson Hocevar and Josh Berry, according to a report published Wednesday.
The revelations come days after Hocevar, driver of the No. 77 Zeigler Auto Group Chevrolet, participated in practice sessions for the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway on October 31, 2026. Specific details of the infractions and resulting penalties were not immediately detailed in the initial report.
Both Hocevar and Berry compete in the NASCAR Cup Series. The governing body's decision to characterize the details as "troubling" suggests the violations may involve behavioral or safety-related matters beyond routine technical infractions.
NASCAR typically announces penalties on Wednesdays following race weekends. The Martinsville event marked a critical playoff race in the 2026 season.
