Carson Hocevar draws the ire of Zane Smith and FRM crew chief
As he tried to fight back from a mid-race incident, Carson Hocevar got loose underneath Zane Smith and sent the Front Row Motorsports driver spinning into the outside wall. However, things did not end there as the damaged No. 38 Ford of Smith appeared to try and get payback later in the race, taking a swipe at the No. 77 and missing. Hocevar even reacted to it on the radio saying, "nice try." Hocevar rebounded to finish eighth at Iowa Speedway, while Smith finished several laps down in 36th. 'It was just another work of art from [team owner] Jeff Dickerson, wanting us to fight through adversity and be able to come out with a good result," said Hocevar as he reflected on the race. "That's what he's preached and that's what we've been focusing on. We were turned around at one point and just struggling to go anywhere. We were just able to reset and regroup. Luke [Lambert, crew chief] did a really good job for this No. 77 Chevrolet team to at least put something on the board and be able to go into next weekend with a little momentum with two top-10s in a row.' Post-race confrontation While he didn't directly address the incident with Smith in the above quotes, the opposing FRM team was eager to address it with him. Ryan Bergenty, who works as the crew chief for the No. 38, confronted Hocevar after the race in a heated conversation. reporter Stephen Stumpf even caught the beginning of the tense interaction on video. Hocevar has been involved in several run-ins this year, including an infamous multi-week feud with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., as well as various other drivers throughout the field. The 22-year-old is having an impressive season with flashes speed, but Smith is just the latest of many enemies he has made along the way.

William Byron wins NASCAR Cup race at Iowa with fuel running out
William Byron nursed his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to the finish line at Iowa Speedway as the whole team held its breath that there was enough fuel left in the car to take the checkered flag. After running out of gas while running third at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last week and while leading the race at Michigan International Speedway earlier this summer, Byron managed to save enough fuel to make it to the finish line and to hold off Chase Briscoe, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney to win the Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday, Aug. 3. "How about that for some fuel mileage," a relieved Byron said after climbing out of his car on the start/finish line. "We've had our share of things not going our way with fuel mileage. We've been through a lot this year. It's been a lot of growing pains. It's been tough on us, but it feels really good today to get a win. "Luckily, the fuel was enough at the end. I think I ran out there. That's why I stopped." WILLIAM BYRON WINS AT IOWA! 🌽🏁 Byron, who started second behind Briscoe, led a race-high 141 of 350 laps. He took his final lead after passing his teammate Chase Elliott on a restart on Lap 277, but multiple cautions shook up the fuel strategy for many teams. Byron had made the earliest pit stop among the drivers chasing him down in the closing laps, forcing both the driver and the No. 24 team to walk a tightrope between having enough speed to keep the lead and enough gas to make it to the end. Byron began the season with a victory in the season-opening Daytona 500 in February, but despite leading the points standings for most of the season, Daytona remained his lone win of 2025. "Our confidence in each other never wavered," Byron said. "Our speed's been better than it's ever been, and that's a big reason why we stayed confident. We needed just one to go our way, and today it did." Briscoe finished second, Keselowski third, Blaney fourth and Ryan Preece fifth. Last week's winner Bubba Wallace rebounded from damage earlier in the race to finish sixth.
