Hocevar Wins Kansas Truck Race, Riggs Disqualified

Carson Hocevar secured his fifth career NASCAR Truck Series win and first of the season in a dramatic race at Kansas Speedway, narrowly edging out Layne Riggs after a last-lap collision sent both into the wall. However, Riggs was disqualified post-race for a technical violation, moving William Byron to second place. A late caution triggered by Frankie Muniz's spin played a pivotal role in shaping the finish, benefiting Hocevar during a key pit cycle. Hocevar, now a full-time Cup Series driver, did not earn championship points for the victory. The race featured multiple lead changes and strong recoveries, including a top-five finish for Corey Heim despite pit road troubles. Hocevar's win further cements his reputation following a successful 2023 Truck Series campaign.
